openITCOCKPIT - Nagios and Naemon configuration import - Beta

05.02.2018


Are you using Nagios or Naemon and want try openITCOCKPIT? No problem! We created a PHP script, which tries to import your existing Nagios or Naemon configuration to a fresh instalation of openITCOCKPIT.

            <div class="alert alert-warning">
              <strong>Warning!</strong>
              <br />
              <b>We highly recommend to use a separate Linux system for this task!</b> For example a virtual machine running <i>Ubuntu Xenial</i>.
              <br />
              Do not run this on your production monitoring server! This will may cause an outage!
            </div>
        </p>
    </div>
    
    <div class="col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
        <h2>Why is this beta?</h2>
        <p>
            Once in a week our developers can choose a random project, they like to work on. We call this <i>Happy Friday</i>.
            <br />
            Unfortunately we don't have the time to finish every project by 100 percent.
            Whenever we created something that could be useful, we publish it to our
            <a href="https://github.com/it-novum" target="_blank">GitHub account</a>.
            <br />
            So maybe we missed a feature, or something is not working as expected but it is still worth to give it a shot.
            This is basically the reason why we call it beta, we don't want to disappoint you &#x1F609;.
            <br />
            Also the migration setup is a bit complex at the moment and it would help, if you are an experienced linux user.
            <br />
            The project was successfully tested with different Nagios and Naemon configurations.
