Can I get Generate a Report from a deleted server

Post by spcmidrange »

Good Day

So we decommissioned some servers, and removed them from nagios. Now been asked to get a report of availability of them to compare against the newer ones. I do not see them as hosts to choose to make reports from anymore

I have 4 years of archive logs. Is there anyway i can generate reports on older hosts?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I believe it's possible but I am going to try it with a test environment.

Besides the archives, can you please tell me if the directory for the deleted server
exists in /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata ?

Thanks!

Apologies for the late reply

Yes, that folder has the data from the servers that have been deleted

Cheers!

Hi,

We tried a couple of things but couldn't get good results accessing the data in /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata
on the current server.

If you have XI backups you can spin up another server, install the same version of XI,
restore to it and access the data.

Thanks
