Downgrading from NagiosXI to Core

[randalthor80]

We've been demoing XI and would like to save the config files we've used and import them back into Core. Is this possible? Specifically for the hosts and a some of the service checks we're using.

All of the .cfg files on XI live in /usr/local/nagios/etc

You could copy the specific commands, hosts and service checks to your core server and edit your nagios.cfg file to point to them.

It's possible but will require some tweaking.

Thanks, I was thinking that was the case. The services files would need some editing from what I could see, but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a hidden gotcha.

No, the gotchas are all plainly visible. You need to make sure you've got nagios.cfg as well (or update the Core version with appropriate information) to include all the configs you're pulling from XI.

Your friend will be "<path_to_nagios>/nagios -v <path_to_>/nagios.cfg"
