Requirement :

You messed up some configuration in nagios and need to revert back to last known good configuration.

Solution:

Navigate to the directory where nagios configuration backups are kept. Normally they should be in gunzip format.

Once inside that directory run restore command.

# check_mk --restore check_mk.11-Mar-2016.tar.gz

After restore to make sure ownership is well in place, run below command

# chown -R apache:nagcmd /etc/check_mk/conf.d/wato/

Lastly restart nagios to take up restored configuration.

# check_mk -R --restart nagios-check_mk
