SYNOPSISconvertcfg <config file> <object type>
DESCRIPTION
Nagios Config File Converter, written by Ethan Galstad
(egalstad@nagios.org).
This utility is designed to aide you in converting your old 'host'
config file(s) to the new template-based config file style. It is also
capable of converting extended host and service information definitions
in your old CGI config file.
Supply the name of your old 'host' config file (or your old CGI config
file if you're converting extended host/service definitions) on the
command line, along with the type of object you would like to produce a
new config file for. Your old config file is not overwritten - new
configuration data is printed to standard output, so you can redirect
it wherever you like.
Please note that you can only specify one type of object at a time on
the command line.
IMPORTANT: This utility will generate Nagios 1..x compliant config
files. However, the config files are not totally compatible with Nagios
2.x, so you will have to do some manual tweaking.
Valid object types:
timeperiods
commands
contacts
contactgroups
hosts
hostgroups
hostgroupescalations
services
servicedependencies
serviceescalations
hostextinfo
serviceextinfo
