Migrating From Nagios Core

[barun.biswas]

Hi,

I am migrating our old Nagios Core to XI. I have following Migrating_From_Nagios_Core_To_Nagios_XI.pdf doc for the same.

XI has been installed. Extra plugins and script have been migrated too. Now, I am trying to migrate Nagios core configuration files. I am trying to manually maintain these files. So, I have copied all config files under static directory.

The above mentioned config files have reference to contact or hostgroups files. (and as a result verification is failing - showing unable to match contact or hostgroup etc) However, it seems that those hosgroups, contact etc file should not be edited manually. If this is so, how should I migrate existing hosgroups, contact etc files to XI.

Please advise.

Thanks & Regards,
Barun

Take a look at this document - https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf (and also https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... p-Tool.pdf if you have not seen it yet)

The key part, is to import your definitions in this specific order, to avoid conflicting results -

Code: Select all

Commands -> Time Periods -> Contact Templates -> Contacts -> Contact Groups -> Host Templates -> Hosts -> Host Groups -> Service Templates -> Services -> Service Groups
