Nagios Support Forum

Have import cfg files from a old XI 2012 R1.7 to XI 5.2.3. On some hosts in the new xi i cannot see same services bind to the host like on the old xi server.
For example service Uptime , ping, cpu usage, memory usage is missing on the new xi.

1.Copy over all cfg files to .../usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/orig
2. Run the php /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php ./orig/service.cfg
3. Run Import the service from webinterface -> Import config file
4 Run the write config file -> verify config

All goes well, but the service cannot be found in the XI server?

Did you follow the recommended importing order?
If there was an issue during the import, i.e. missing template, timeperiod, etc. your "problem" objects would be set as "inactive" in the CCM so that the apply configuration wouldn't fail. Go to the CCM and search for the missing objects. Try to activate them one by one and run the Write Config Tool to test the configuration. Fix config errors as you go.

Hi.

Yes i did import them in this order, i have add new services.cfg files after the first import. Do i have to import servicegroup.cfg again after each new added service?

I cannot find missing object under CCM ( XI 5.2.3) ?

Under Admin i found undefined objects, its empty?

Could you post your service.cfg file that you are having problems importing so we can check it for errors?
Do you get any errors when you import the file?

When i run the verify after import the file i get these warnings

I sent you a PM.

i have reply on that.

Think i dont have been clear of the issue. After the import and verify that dont show any error only the warnings of duplicates, the new imported service dont show up at all in the cmm-> services or under undefined objects.

One other reason thar we dont have done an upgrade is the old Nagios is runnning on unsupported CentOS 6.5

I have now discovered that the imported cfg files in ../cfgprep/ its empty so i have import empty files to Nagios those files i have successfully import, not wonder i cant find this files under services. I have tried to delete the file in cfgprep folder and import it again with

php /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/xiprepimport.php /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/orig/'Solaris 10 Base Infrastructure.cfg' but they are still empty. I have tried with the solaris infrastructure... file you can see above and have send to you.


See attached file.

When you run: you will see the the /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/'Solaris 10 Base Infrastructure.cfg' is empty, however there is another file in the same directory, called " _multiple_hosts.cfg". Have you tried importing this config?

Ok, so the Solaris Base 10 infra.. cfg file is empty and all is written into _multiple_hosts.cfg file?

After i import the _multiple_hosts.cfg file i got this error.

Error: Failed to expand host list 'localhost' for service 'Internet Access - Reaching google.com' (/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/_multiple_hosts.cfg:796) in the Verify applying
