Caveats: you can not restore a node to a server if there is already a node existing with that name, you should rename the node before dumping. This would include if the server was acting as a master and receiving the node from a remote poller.
Copy a Node
To make a duplicate node and start polling it, export the node, edit the json and import it, e.g.
| Code Block |
|---|
/usr/local/nmis9/admin/node_admin.pl act=export node=NODENAME file=NODENAME.json |
Edit NODENAME.json, change the display_name and name in the file and then import it
| Code Block |
|---|
/usr/local/nmis9/admin/node_admin.pl act=import file=NODENAME.json |
The node will be created with the name used in the name field.
