Migrate from Nagios 3 - 4

Post by nathanplatt »

Hi Guys,

I'm hoping this is a quick question but I'll like to build a Nagios 4 box, I have a 3 and wondered if I can copy all the configure files from 3 into 4 or do i have to edit them to make it work?

Interchangeable. Should validate no problemo. You could actually compile without installing and just call the uninstalled binary with `-v /my/path/nagios.cfg` to double check, but generally speaking there were no options removed from 3 --> 4 so it should work fine.
