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.
