Hi -

Not an issue, but just a question. We have been piloting Nagios XI and have added a significant number of servers to the system to test functionality and load. Now we are ready to turn the system into production.

We have defined a group of systems that are ALL configured the same and would like to use the bulk cloning tool. Instead of cross-referencing the 500 or so systems to see if it's already in there, is there any harm in duplicating some via the bulk cloning tool?

Thanks

No you should be able to use it just fine, all you need to do is select one of those host's and then take the addresses, names, etc, of what you wish to name the clones and add them in the list at the bottom. Let us know if you need any help with the formatting, though it should be explained in brief, above that section.
