Nagios Support Forum

Hello friends and foes. I guess I have some in this forum, for unknown reason.

Today is friday, and I am more than happy with what I have accomplished today. I am actually quite pleased with myself, and wish I could go home now without losing money. Sadly, I can't so I'll just hang around for a bit longer, doing what I am best at doing.

But that was not what I was trying to accomplish by entering a new post in this excellent forum.

I have just misconfigured about 100 switches as simple network toys I can only ping in order to check if they are ok.

How can I export the config easy, and then import them again as fullgrown, real man-switches?

Any good advice?

Thanks in advance. Have a good weekend! I know mine hopefully will be!

For switches and routers, the under the hood config info is located in /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg. If you need to blow everything away you could just clear that file, delete the services, and then re-run the wizard. Monitoring switches and routers works a little different in XI than most other checks, since they're handled by mrtg. There's not necessarily a nice clean way to reconfigure 100 switches ; )

How easy is it just to remove everything I have put in so far?
Switches, routers, servers and so on?

Is there an easy way?
