Hello.

Is it possible to retain acknowledges or downtimes applied to services or hosts when changing a host to another poller?

I’m in the process of moving hosts from my old CentOS pollers to new Oracle Linux pollers and this is lost after changing the poller.

I’m moving in small batches to check possible problems with the checks in the new pollers before moving the whole lot to the new one.

Regards

Enrique

I am having the exact same Problem atm as im moving from CentOS to debian and would really like to retain downtimes when moving Hosts to another Poller. 

 

Is there really no way to solve this? I can see that the downtimes are automatically getting cancelled when the restart happens and the Hosts move.

Hello 

you May try to :

  • Stop centengine
  • copy the file /var/log/centreon-engine/retention.dat and /var/log/centreon-engine/status.dat to the new poller. Ps : be sure to put the right user/right on the file
  • Start Centengine on the new poller
