Nagios Server Migration

Hi

we are planning to migrate Nagios from the old server to new server due to Server Hardware's EOL.
can you please help us with the procedure to migrate to new server ?
the new Nagios server will hold a new IP

Is there any chance to have both servers running Nagios during the migration cutoff

The license transfer has been initiated as well to cover the new server's IP

from the client end we have a plan to update /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe on all the servers and refresh the service

the current server and the new server both has Nagios xi 5.2.9 installed on them

The best method is to do a backup and restore. The process is detailed here:

If you are coming from a pre-Nagios XI 5.x version, you may also wish to consider:
