Or do I need to open a service ticket?

@highness, Is the second XI server hosted on a standalone physical server? Or on a standalone VM?
I would like to see the same configs but from the second XI:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php
/var/www/html/nagiosql/config/settings.php
/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg
Perhaps you did a backup-restore from a wrong server?

The second server is a VM in a completely different physical location (we're trying to stand up a secondary server for DR testing). We restored the secondary server from backups from our main XI server.

If you restored the secondary from a backup of your main XI server, it should have all the exact same information.

The backup will contain all the hosts/services etc. exactly like the server that was backed up.
