Migrating from Nagios to Shinken

How to to import existing Nagios states

It’s possible with the nagios_retention_file module in fact.

The “migration” is done in two phases :

  • First you launch shinken with both NagiosRetention and PickleRetention modules. It will load data from NagiosRetention and save them in a more “efficient” file. So add in shinken-specififc.cfg file both modules for your scheduler object:
modules                 NagiosRetention ,PickleRetention
  • Then you remove the NagiosRetention (it’s a read only module, don’t fear for your nagios retention file) and restart with just PickleRetention. <code>modules PickleRetention

You’re done.

Important

This method has met with limited success, further testing of the NagiosRetention module is required. An issues encountered should be raised in the Shinken issue tracker on github.
