trial import errors
Posted: Wed Nov 16, 2011 4:34 pm
I am looking to upgrade our old nagios. On a test setup, I configured a minimal CentOS 6 and went through the nagiosxi installation. Everything went fine.
For the next step, I tried to import the configuration from our old nagios 1.x. After no success importing everything (I got errors applying the configuration), I deleted everything and decided to import the components one by one starting with the commands, contacts, contact groups, etc. I ran into problems with the hostgroup.cfg files and couple of other stuff, but managed to muddle my way through and able to successfully apply the configuration until I got to the services. There are really only about 50 different types of services that we monitor. In all, I am trying to import about 1100 total services for about 300 hosts. I cannot successfully apply a configuration if I import all the services for all the hosts.
I ran the import conversion scripts and have been able to successfully create the individual service files for each of the hosts. I started importing the services files for the hosts in groups of 5-10. I *think* I have been able to narrow my problem down to the number of services I can import. At about service #669 I am able to successfully apply services, anything more, it craps out. Funny thing is, there are no errors in the snapshots and I can't find anything anywhere to indicate what is causing the problems. The error I receive is "Configurations failed to write to file" when applying the configuration.
I emailed Nagios and asked if there were any limits on the services, and they responded that "The trial version is an Unlimited Node license". A little unclear as to what a "Node" is and how it really pertains to my question about services, but they redirected me here.
Does anyone have any idea as to why I can't import anything more or where I can look (log files or something) to see where the problems are?
Thanks to anyone that can help or give me a little direction.
