Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I cannot devote any more time to this project due to other more pressing issues. As such, I am going to have end my efforts here, and remove nconf from our server.

Hello -- I have installed NConf 1.3.0 onto a system running the Icinga 1.6.1 release. I am going through the motions of adding commands to the checkcommands section in the gui.

I have a follow-up to this posting. I started the installation procedure over by removing the existing nconf directory and database. I then went through the motions of installing the 1.2.6 release, and then upgrading nconf to the 1.3.0 distribution. Both the initial install and upgrade were complete...

Hello -- I am trying to import the existing configuration files on an Icinga 1.7 server into the nconf database. To that end I am using the add_items_from_nagios.pl script.

Hello -- I have completed the installation of the Icinga and Icinga-web 1.7, and NConf 1.3.0 applications. The server is designated to replace an existing Nagios 3.3.1 system, and to that end one of the goals here is to successfully migrate the configuration files and databases from the old to the n...

Hello --

Thank-you for your reply. That's good to know the configuration is the same. I'll proceed with the installation, and hopefully it will be uneventful.

Cheers,

Hello -- I am planning on migrating from a Nagios 3.3.1 to Icinga 1.7 installation. The process will include building a new system that is a replica of the current Nagios server, and doing the appropriate procedure to convert it into the latter. To that end, I plan on also doing a scratch installati...

Hi there -- I was planning on installing the 1.3 release of NConf in place of the current 1.2.6 distribution, but prior to doing so, I had some preliminary questions: 1.
