Backup NagiosXI without perfdata

Hi there!
I'm creating a QA device to do some tests to the hosts and services that I have registered in my primary NagiosXI system, but this QA machine is significatively small, so to load a backup from my first Nagios I need to leave out the history or perfdata.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hello
@neo_infrastructure,
The backup script, backup_xi.sh, is located in
/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/.

Hello
@neo_infrastructure,
I just edited the last post. I'm going to research this a bit more, and will get back to you later today.

Hi
@neo_infrastructure,
Looks like the best way is to use the exclude option when the script creates the Nagios core archive. Please
backup your system before making any changes.
Example:
Code: Select all
echo "Backing up Nagios Core..."
tar czfp $mydir/nagios.tar.gz /usr/local/nagios --exclude=/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata
