I have a NagiosXI server setup at my facility. I am in the process of setting up a NEW NagiosXI server at another facility. Is there a way to copy all configurations (templates, plugins, etc.) to the new box without copying all the host and service configurations?
I hate the idea of recreating the wheel.

Re: NagiosXI times two
Without doing a Backup and Restore which will copy everything, it would be a manual process.
The plugins you would have to copy them over from the /usr/local/nagios/libexec folder to the new system in the same folder. Make sure any requirements for the plugins are installed on the new system as well as setting up the permissions.
The templates and other settings, you can copy the config files to a temporary folder on the new system and then use the Import Config Files tool in the Core Config Manager menu to import the settings.
The template config files can be found in the /usr/local/nagios/etc folder.
