Migration to Another Server

[amitgupta19]

Currently the Nagios is installed on the Centos 7.

I am planning to Migrate the Current Nagios to the OEL 7 Server.

Is there a Way or Process to do the Same.

After the Migration i am planning to change the IP of the OEL7 server to the IP of the Centos7 Server.

Install all the components the same way and then you should be able to copy / paste the entire configs and it will just work.

What installation methods are you planning on using.

Can you please help me with the names of the config files, which we need to copy from one server to another?

This is hard to say because everyone configures nagios differently, but running a command like the following should give you a list of the files and directories that need to be copied for the configuration

Code: Select all

grep cfg_ /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg|grep -v ^#

Additionally you are going to need to copy any custom plugins you have added

Thanks Scott for the Help, i hope that it will help me.

I have noticed one error in my New nagios Server,

Hope that it can be ignored ?

I'm pretty sure it can, I would guess that on Mar 01 when this error occurred the DB service wasn't running, but you can see from this line that it re-connected in the same second

Code: Select all

Hi Scott,

I have Successfully migrated to the New Server OEL 7.7.

But i noticed one problem on this server that i do not get the option of Host and Service Trends.

Can you please suggest what could be the reason?

I have Installed the Nagios Version 4.4.5

[scottwilkerson]

I'm not sure I know what you mean, there is the Reports -> Legacy Reports -> Trends

[amitgupta19]

When We Click on a Host in Nagios. Then there is a link which gives us the trends for the past days.

Please refer to the attached screenshot.

[amitgupta19]

In the screenshot(Red Highlighted Area) in there used to be the option of "View Trends for this Host".
