Errors importing cfg files into Nagios XI

[rickwilson7425]

I am testing the Nagios XI VM which I downloaded. We want to migrate our existing Nagios Core setup to Nagios XI.

I get as far as using the prep tool on the services.cfg file and get this error - "PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php on line 102"

None of the other CFG files throw this error.

I went ahead and tried to write the file and get this error - "Error: Template 'generic-host-nix' specified in host definition could not be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/dendbd3.cfg', starting on line 14)
Error processing object config files!"

The "generic-host-nix" is defined in the Templates.cfg file.

Is the PHP error relevant?

Why would I be getting the Template error if it is defined in the CFG file?

Thanks for you help.

The "generic-host-nix" is defined in the Templates.cfg file.

Is it "Templates.cfg" or "templates.cfg"? Capitalization matters.

Also, try running the config import prep tool against the template files first before the services file.

[rickwilson7425]

It is templates.cfg - no capital letter

Tried running prep on templates.cfg first and then on services.cfg - still get the error.

FYI - The error line is repeated about 80 times.

I didn't check before but there is nothing in the services.cfg file that the prep tool creates. I suppose that is why I am getting the error when I try to write the file in Core Config.

If you run the prep tools on templates.cfg, finish the import into xi (including applying config), and then attempt to prep and import the host and service configs, do you still get errors in the import process or ccm?

[rickwilson7425]

I tried just importing templates but when I wrote the file and verified it it still has that error.

Maybe I should just wipe out all the configs and start over? If so, what would be the quickest way to do that?

[rickwilson7425]

I set up a new VM and ran through the process as you suggested.

It still fails on prepping the services.cfg file which results in an empty file.

[abrist]

Can you post the errors that are output from the import?
were there any errors in the prep process?

[rickwilson7425]

There main problem appears to be in the prep process. I get this error trying to prep the services.cfg file:

"PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php on line 102"

[tmcdonald]

Can you PM that services.cfg file to me? Looking at the code it seems there is a misconfiguration in that file that is causing the import to choke.

[tmcdonald]

Looking through your services.cfg I noticed there are several blank fields that are causing the import process to break. For example, you have a lot of instances like this one:

Code: Select all

define service {
  service_description            SSH Connection
  host_name
  hostgroup_name                 hgroup1,hgroup2,hgroup3,hgroup4
  use                            template1
  check_command                  check_ssh
  contact_groups                 cgroup1,cgroup2
}

I changed the values of course so as not to post your real config on the forum, but as you can see host_name is blank. This is causing the undefined error on your import.

The empty fields are all the following:

contact_groups
contacts
_COSTCENTER
hostgroup_name
host_name
notes
notes_url
_RUN

You will either need to remove those empty lines or fill them in.
