Export all configuration from Nagios core

Post by axvers »

Hi support,

We want to shift all configuration from some Servers running Nagios Core to a new Nagios XI server.

After we tried copy all cfg files under /usr/local/nagios/etc/ (e.g. ./services/*.cfg ), and use the import config feature on new Nagios XI server,

it turns out that only around 10% service exists. (But host number is ok).

The original nagios core servers have total ~5000 services, and all cfg we copied are only ~ 600 (from `grep -o "define service" * | wc -l` command).

How to export all configuration from core correctly?

The order of operations is VERY important
