How far did you get in the import process, and what were you moving from/going to in terms of Nagios? Was this a Core -> XI migration? Which config files aren't showing up that you expected to see?

hi the move is from core 3 to new XI
i used the import tool got the file created in the cfgprep folder , the file look o.k if i look in vim
the issue that when i going to the xi gui to import the file it just not there

original file is in /orig just like in the nagios xi document
file name:
slack_nagios.cfg

the result file is in:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep
the original file is in:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/orig

the result file is in the
the config is a host+service from the old nagios (i have done this many time but now i can't see the file to import)

don't get any error ,because i don't see the file

thanks

The issue is caused by the fact you have "nagios" in the file name... It's not allowed. You can use any other name - it doesn't matter what it is. You can even use "test".

Try:

Code: Select all

mv /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/slack_nagios.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/slack_test.cfg

Do you see the "slack_test.cfg" file under the "Configuration Import" page now?

i don't believe this but u are correct after changing the name i do see the file
i was not even close ,i figert should be permission issue or something


thanks u very much
no nagios in the name of the import folder fixed this issue for me
