Nagios XI - Restoring A Configuration Snapshot

Overview

This article will walk you through restoring a configuration snapshot in Core Configuration Manager (CCM).

Configuration snapshots are taken each time you Apply Configuration. In the event that you deleted some objects in CCM accidentally, you can restore a previous configuration snapshot to restore the deleted objects.

Warning

This is a destructive process and will remove any changes that were implemented in CCM since the configuration snapshot was taken.

Restore Configuration Snapshot

From the Configure menu click Core Configuration Manager
Under Quick Tools click Configuration Snapshots
Here you will be shown the most recent configuration snapshots

In the Actions column click the bent arrow for the snapshot you want to restore
- Click OK to restore
A message appears saying the snapshot was restored

Click the Apply Configuration link and then click the Apply Configuration button
- Note: At this point you can go and make changes before you Apply Configuration
Once the configuration has been applied Nagios will be running with the previous config

This page allows you to view differences between configuration snapshots. For more information, see Viewing Configuration Snapshot Differences.

This completes restoring a configuration snapshot.
