This tool lets you create hosts in bulk. Ideal for adding hosts of a similar type quickly. It does NOT add services. You need a list of hosts, their addresses and optionally a description in a spreadsheet / CSV format. The format is address,host name,description If you did not want a description then the format is address,host name Here are some examples: VMware ESX Servers esx1.yourdomain.local,ESX1,ESX1 – Production esx2.yourdomain.local,ESX2,ESX2 – Production esx3.yourdomain.local,ESX3,ESX3 – Production esx4.yourdomain.local,ESX4,ESX4 – Testing esx5.yourdomain.local,ESX5,ESX5 – Testing Windows Servers 192.168.111.50,SERVER01,Active Directory 192.168.111.51,SERVER02,Active Directory email.yourdomain.local,SERVER04 192.168.111.55,SERVER05 192.168.111.38,SERVER06,Email 192.168.111.40,SERVER17

So first off, thank you for this incredibly handy wizard! Second... I have an issue. I added several hosts and applied the configuration. I then realized I mis-typed the description for them all, so I deleted the hosts from Nagios XI and applied the configuration changes. Now when I go back to add all of the hosts, I get the following error for each: IP Address or FQDN has a space: HOSTNAME So now I can't bulk add all of the hosts even though they don't actually exist in the NagiosXI config. I'm pretty new to Nagios XI, but I imagine this has something to do with the database that tracks changes before applying them to the flat .cfg files in the nagios directory? Am I close at all? How do I go about solving this predicament? To any that provide feedback, thank you for your help! Regards, MarkOnThis

Works as explained, an excellent tool for migrations or mass host creation.
