Importing Existing Nagios Configurations

If you are a Nagios user, it’s likely that you already have a working configuration that you would like to start with. If you are using Nagios 1.x, and would like to upgrade to 2.0, GroundWork Monitor is an excellent way to convert existing files. Simply copy your existing files to the GroundWork server, change the path values in the nagios.cfg file and use the configuration tab to load them into Monitor Architect. Then change the version of Nagios in the setup form, and the next time you commit changes, they will be in Nagios 2.0 format. Any missing directives that Nagios 2.0 requires will be detected on a pre-flight check, and you can easily add them via the web interface.
