Hello LOG support

How to migrate Nagios LOG from CentOS6.9 (Nagios template VM, extended disk)
to the new CentOS 7 VM?

- we have a lot of indexes to move over, many hundreds of GBs

Thank you

I believe you could do a backup and restore to move your data to the newer OS.

Run this command to see if which backups are currently on the server.

Code: Select all

ls /store/backups/nagioslogserver

If there is not a backup, or you would like to make a more current one, you can run the following script to create one.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/create_backup.sh

Once it has been created, you could copy it directly from one server to the other with scp.

Code: Select all

cd /store/backups/nagioslogserver/
scp <backup name> <username>@<new server IP>:/store/backups/nagioslogserver/.

Then run the restore backup script on the new server.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/restore_backup.sh <backup name>

See the documentation linked below for more detailed instructions on performing backup and restore on Nagios Log Server.
