New NagiosXI server apply configuration taking hours

The strings aren't really random, they are epoch. But yes they can be difficult to find. This is a known side effect of importing escalations.

You can isolate effected files by doing a:

Code: Select all

# grep -R <string> /usr/local/nagios/etc/

With that information it should be relatively easy to track down where it is in the GUI.

Yeah, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better to just clear all escalations and start from scratch. I haven't done escalations in a while. Is there a quick setup for services? Basically, we use this to first notify engineers of the issue, then after a set time, notify the help desk to enter a ticket.

That's basically what our documentation covers:

But there isn't a "quick way" via a wizard/component to do it unfortunately.

I think thats everything for this topic. I appreciate all the help on this one. Thanks!
