there is one thing you will need to do first (related to a bug that was found)
run

Code: Select all

chmod ug+x /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/nom_restore_nagioscore_checkpoint_specific.sh
Then you can go to Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Configuration Snapshots and click the green refresh icon under the Actions column next to the snapshot you want to restore to

Then, Apply configuration

If you have an older snapshot that you saved off, can you upload it back in and restore to that?

No you cannot with a "snapshot" you can only do this after making a Nagios backup with the script and restoring it:
