Copy definitions of hosts and services to Another NagiosXi

[cgrediaga]

Hello,

I have 2 NagiosXI copy and definitions need some hosts and services from one another which would be the procedure recommended

Can you confirm what you are trying to do? The question was a bit unclear, are you asking how to copy services and hosts from one XI installation to another? If so, you can follow this documentation:

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... nto_XI.pdf

It will guide you through the process of importing configuration files once you have them in the correct directory on the Nagios XI system.

the easiest way would be to create a directory under /usr/local/nagios/etc called transfer
then create

Code: Select all

mkdir -p /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer/hosts /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer/services

place all your host files in /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer/hosts
place all your service files in /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer/services

Code: Select all

chown nagios.nagios -R /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer/hosts /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer/services
chmod -R g+w /usr/local/nagios/etc/transfer

import hosts through Configure -> CCM -> Tools -> Import Config Files
import services through Configure -> CCM -> Tools -> Import Config Files
