How to import modified host and service files in DB from CLI

[Satyam]

Hi,

We are using NagiosXI, but still we prefer to do most of the things from CLI. Most often we are adding or removing some service from a no. of files and again we need to import these modified files into DB using NagiosXI UI. Its very difficult to search and import a large no. of these files using UI. Is there any way i can import these modified files into NagiosXI DB from command line without using NagiosXI User Interface.

Thanks,

At present I believe the best you can do would be to write the config files and then import them into XI through the web interface at Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Tools -> Import Config Files

Hi Scott,

I found it, it can be done....

Copy all the modified files to the folder /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
And then run the script
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

And its's done, no need to waste your time in selecting the changed files from UI and then importing them. Thanks..

I see, I though you meant one by one verifying the files...

Glad you got it worked out.

You are correct, this is how our wizard import files as well. There are some limitations to importing this way, so I would suggest sticking to single Host->Service relationships for this method for the best results.
