Hello Team,

There is an option to import .cfg files under CCM -> Tools -> Import Config Files.
Can i import the same cfg file via command line rather than GUI.
Actually just wanted to know the command which is used to import the .cfg files
One more question.
When we apply the configuration which all services gets restarted from the background( from CLI), whether it is only nagios.service or npcd.service too?

Hello aditya.c.anand,

Place the files in the folder /usr/local/nagios/etc/import/ and from the command line run the following:
That should do it! Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you for visiting the Nagios Support Forum.

I'm sorry,

I neglected to ask which version of Nagios XI you are running. The contents of your /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts is substantially different than that of a stock current Nagios XI installation. Which version are you running?

Hello Team,

We are using 5.4.13 version of NagiosXI.

Unless you are unable to with your current license, I would strongly recommend that you upgrade to the latest version. This will bring in the script you are looking for.
