Hello Mani,

I was able to rename 2 servers using the Bulk Renaming Tool.

Please make sure there are no special characters in the new names, and there are no 2 identical names.

Can we also verify that you can Apply Configuration before starting the rename process

Hello Scott,

identical names means for example my existing host name is "new-1" I want to change i.e. new name "new"
is it also comes under identical name ?
otherwise we need to change completely different names or what ?

[scottwilkerson]

It means it you want to rename it to "new" you need to make sure the host "new" doesn't already exist.

Thanks Scott.

yes before renaming I have checked that new host name so that is not exist but my apply is getting failed only

and I have checked tail -f /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log it's showing below error

"Another reconfigure process is still running, sleeping...
.Another reconfigure process is still running, sleeping...

Lets run the following

Code: Select all

rm -f  /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock

Hello Scott,

In my case after renaming if I give apply configuration that's will fail. next again click that try again option then apply configuration is successful.

I have run the below command as well but still issue is persist.
first time fail next I given the try again option it's successfully done.

But still I am getting below error
"Another reconfigure process is still running, sleeping..."

Can I have you run

Code: Select all

rm -f  /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.lock

then immediately run

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh

And post the results

Hello Scott,

Just let me know if we rename a particular host with new name for eg- XXXX is old name and XXXX-PROD is new name and for old name already we have scheduled it for downtime so once we rename what entries we have for old name in downtime will be deleted? And again we have to manually scheduled it with new name? This is how it works?
