Core -> XI Migration Question

Post by GldRush98 »

Hey guys, nothing critical here, but had a question come up today that I haven't seen before.
Let's say you have multiple Nagios Core machines running checks to different hosts and services (in this example 5 Core machines).
Would a migration to a single XI machine be feasible? I'm basically worried about how XI would handle importing things in the event of name collisions on services or groups or anything else. Is there a way to do this, or do you need to basically scrub your configs before import and resolve all collisions beforehand?

Thanks for any input you may have. :?

When importing to XI, the import tool will overwrite an object if it already exists.
