The Nagios Reader Github has been archived this month, so evidently support and updates will no longer be available.

I followed the guide at
https://docs.centreon.com/docs/migrate/nagios-to-centreon/

The command - perl nagios_reader_to_centreon_clapi.pl --config /usr/local/nagios/etc/ > /tmp/centreon_clapi_import_commands.txt - executes successfully on my configuration directory without error but the generated clapi text file does not contain any details from my configuration. Our configuration has customized storage locations but follows the Nagios guide for nagios.cfg.

I am not certain how to debug in order to get our extensive configuration exported so that we can try our Centreon. Overall spinning up the appliance and playing with the stock configuration is interested but if I can get my monitored hosts and services imported, that would be a far more impressive test.

Thanks.

So there is no way to migrate off of a current Nagios Core server to current Centreon?

The https://github.com/centreon/nagiosToCentreon project has been archived and is read only - the last update was 5 years ago and it failed to export our existing Nagios CORE.

Are there any other options? Cetreon appears to be a user friendly solution.

Hi @Nyle you can try with https://github.com/centreon/nagiosToCentreon but it was not tested on Nagios 4, only 3.x

Thanks @Laurent I greatly appreciate the reply.Yes, as I mentioned it runs but the resultant file is virtually empty. It’s not working and doesn’t appear to be supported anymore. The documentation could use an update to remove reference to it for Nagios 4.
