Nagios Support Forum

I have been using Nagios Core but it appears with Nagios XI everything should be configured with CCM. I am unable to find any good documentation on how to navigate, what each item represents, etc. I have been trying to convert my Core installation over to XI but planned to spend some decent time on setting up everything correctly with XI. I have set a date to hopefully have everything migrated over to XI but still am not confident with how to maneuver and make things happen inside CCM. Maybe I am just making it too complicated...but I've spent a great deal of time being unsuccessful in migrating my Core over to XI. I keep getting errors and I know it is a lack of understanding XI. I was using the Config import and just figured my next attempt would be the bulk import.

I feel like this doc should be useful:

And links to the docs it references (plus a few more):

http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ios-XI.pdf
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... p-Tool.pdf

Essentially they go over the process of importing configs properly, and the things in XI that are different from Core (primarily plugin management). For the CCM specifically, we have the following doc:

The CCM isn't too hard, and if you have used Core before it's really just a matter or mentally translating from command-line options to these same settings configured in a web UI.

If you have any questions feel free to ask.
