Import/export data from nagios database

Post by ibmkenexa »

Team,

Can you please help me to restructure host and service groups in Nagios XI.

I want to export all hosts and services data from nagios XI to .csv or any file --> then update my new configurations in that file --> and import in to nagios XI system.

Where i have to start. Please share reference documents.

In our Nagios XI --> I can see available below Tools under CCM window.

Static configuratons
Renaming Tool
Escalation Wizard
Bulk Modifications
Import Config files
Write Config Files

Thank you in advance.

You can get the data via the REST API, however I would like to point out that modifying objects directly in the database is never a good idea and we strongly advise against it. Since you have Nagios XI Enterprise Edition, you could use the Bulk Modifications Tool in order to do mass changes to configs. This is a much safer option and your best bet.
