Reverting to core

[lilydalehs]

Hi All,

we've been a long time nagiosxi user, but due to budgetary constraints we need to move back to core.

I have read that there doesn't appear to be an easy way to do this, but that I need to copy the config files from xi and re-install those on a core system. My question is where are the config files stored and how do I copy them out of xi and install them into core?

Thanks,
Chris.

Hello @lilydalehs

Thanks for reaching out on the migration to Core. The Nagios Core back-end is already accessible on your current Nagios XI environment. You can access it by going to:

• https://yournagiosaddresshere/nagios

The Nagios Core will not check for licensing.

Thanks,
Perry

Hi Chris,

Sorry to hear that and we do appreciate you being a loyal Nagios XI customer. I would reach to our sales team, [email protected], and see if you have any options for reducing the cost (perhaps changing the license node level).

Also, Nagios XI is a perpetual license. However, you will lose access to customer support and updates when the license expires.

Regards,
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

thanks for the clarification there. I really love the product, but the Admin team have reduced our budget such that we have to cut quite a few of our projects. Hopefully it's only temporary.

Regards,
Chris.
