Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I had posted earlier about the XI5 upgrade. I installed a fresh copy then tried to import my custom OPS screen that was designed through Nagios. Unfortunately it did not work. How do I go about getting this re-engineered so it will work with the latest XI version?

Thanks

Just to make sure, are you referring to this thread? https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 35#p197135

With the process you did, it will only be moving over your configuration files, and not all of the other data.

To help get things on track, how was the custom OPS screen built? Is it a dashboard, or an external page? Could you show us a screenshot from the old system?

yes I am referring to that thread, sorry!

I think i need help with getting everything from my existing system over to a new system.

the screen config is attached.

are there paid services I can get to do the move?

Try the following "workaround".

1. Backup the original file "/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/opscreen/opscreen.php". 2. Open the "/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/opscreen/opscreen.php" in a text editor, and change this line (around line 9): to this: Save, exit, and restart httpd: Try accessing the "Operations Screen" again. Did it work this time?

awesome! worked like a charm.

any idea how I can migrate all perf data over too?

You should be able to just copy over the RRDs and XMLs to "/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/" directory. If you are however changing the architecture, you will need to follow the steps, outlined in our "Nagios XI - Migrate Performance Data" KB article here:
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=166

You can also use this tool I created called the Performance Data Tool for migrating performance data.

Upload it into Nagios XI via Admin > System Extensions > Manage Components.

Access it via the Tools menu.
