Nagios Support Forum

Hi again,

currently migrating form old XI to latest version. I have notes defined on every host that we monitor. is there a way to get this data imported into my new install?

It will come across with a standard backup/restore migration or even a migrate from core approach:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios_XI.pdf

so it is ok to restore this version over the to the latest database?

Nagios XI Version : 2012R2.7
nagiosxi.hasbro.com 2.6.32-573.26.1.el6.x86_64 x86_64
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
Gnome is not installed

I recommend using the core migration method in that case. One of the main reasons for this is that postgresql is no longer used in current installs. If you tried to do a backup/restore it would pull in postgresql because of the legacy stuff. A core migration is a few more steps on the front-end, but overall it is a cleaner approach coming from that old of Nagios XI version.

ok sounds good, Ill give it a shot. you can close this, I will post again if I have issues.

thanks again
