Nagios Support Forum

I am trying to import the files from nagios core to nagios xi
Manulaly I am able to configure the hosts.
While using import prep tool.
I am getting errors while performing check configurations.How do I delete the old configuration and perform a new configuration

If you are trying to delete hosts already in XI you would delete then through
Configure -> CCM -> Services
and then
Configure -> CCM -> Hosts
then
Apply Configuration

Thanks for your responce.

Can i delete them though command line.Since gui is not responding properly.

You could use the method outlined in page 3 of this document

http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... -nagios-xi

I configured again this time I could overcome some problems and finally stuck here.
Not sure how to proceed and where to define 'check_host_alive' .

Below is the output after compilation

Got this one resolved by importing old timperiods.cfg from /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep/orig to /usr/local/nagios/etc/cfgprep and then recompiling again.

Now getting problem with contacts file.
Error: Template '' specified in contact definition could not be not found (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg', starting on line 1237)

Can you access the Core Config Manager->Contacts page, and click the download button and post the config that it's creating? (You may want to remove real email addresses).

It containg very hige contacts information
