<p>Added backup/restore notes</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>= Nagios/Fruity =<br /> <br /> This page contains notes on using and administering &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Fruity&#039;&#039;&#039; within the &#039;&#039;&#039;NST&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> == Related Links ==<br /> <br /> * Nagios (http://www.nagios.org/)<br /> * Fruity (http://fruity.sourceforge.net/)<br /> <br /> == Backup/Restore ==<br /> <br /> There are several possible ways to backup/restore the &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; configuration. Being able to do so is useful for the following reasons:<br /> <br /> * If you mis-configure your Nagios system, you can restore from your last good backup.<br /> * You can create an initial backup to serve as a base template when setting up new systems.<br /> * It makes using a Live CD much easier (save your configuration before stopping the system, then reload it the next time you boot).<br /> <br /> === Backup/Restore via Fruity ===<br /> <br /> If you used the &#039;&#039;&#039;Fruity&#039;&#039;&#039; interface to manage your &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; configuration, you should be able to do the following: <br /> <br /> ; Backup : Go to the &#039;&#039;&#039;NST&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;WUI&#039;&#039;&#039; page for &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; and export the &#039;&#039;&#039;Fruity&#039;&#039;&#039; database.<br /> <br /> ; Restore : Use the following steps to restore the configuration:<br /> # Go to the &#039;&#039;&#039;NST&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;WUI&#039;&#039;&#039; page for &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; and import the &#039;&#039;&#039;Fruity&#039;&#039;&#039; database (the &#039;&#039;&#039;MySQL&#039;&#039;&#039; server must be started prior to doing this).<br /> # Use &#039;&#039;&#039;Fruity&#039;&#039;&#039; interface to export the configuration from the &#039;&#039;&#039;Fruity&#039;&#039;&#039; database to &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039;.<br /> # Start the &#039;&#039;&#039;nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; service.<br /> <br /> === Backup/Restore Without Fruity ===<br /> <br /> If you did not use Fruity to configure Nagios, try the following to backup/restore your Nagios configuration (this has not been verified):<br /> <br /> === Local Backup ===<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> tar czf - -C /etc nagios &gt;| nagios.tar.gz <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Remote Backup ====<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> ssh root@IP_ADDRESS tar czf - -C /etc nagios &gt;| nagios.tar.gz <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Restore ====<br /> <br /> * Go to the &#039;&#039;&#039;NST&#039;&#039;&#039; &#039;&#039;&#039;WUI&#039;&#039;&#039; page for &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; and setup Nagios with the minimal configuration.<br /> <br /> * For a local restore, replace the minimal &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; configuration with the backup copy using the following command: <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> cat nagios.tar.gz | tar xzf - -C /etc<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> * For a remote restore, replace the minimal &#039;&#039;&#039;Nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; configuration with the backup copy using the following command: <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> cat nagios.tar.gz | ssh root@IP_ADDRESS tar xzf - -C /etc<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> * Finally, start the &#039;&#039;&#039;nagios&#039;&#039;&#039; service via:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> service nagios start <br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> NOTE: Replace &quot;IP_ADDRESS&quot; with the &#039;&#039;&#039;IP&#039;&#039;&#039; address of your &#039;&#039;&#039;NST&#039;&#039;&#039; probe.</div>
