I'm in the process of planning an Icinga 1.x to Icinga 2 migration (2.5.4 in 
this case).  Unfortunately the docs and wiki are not helping 100% with our 
particular setup, as we're also (slowly) migrating from source to packages.  
Among other things.  :)

My concerns are below.  Any help/pointers etc would be appreciated.


1) For now, we'd like to use the same plugins from our Icinga 1.x install in 
Icinga 2.x; Part of that is due to our compiling a custom nrpe with a larger 
output buffer (yes, we'll fix that later - probably by switching to the new 
Agent/Client for Linux hosts).  

>From the install notes, it looks like I just have to set PluginDir to 
>/usr/local/icinga/libexec (our old plugin dir), correct?


2) As part of the migration, we'll need to start on Classic UI and migrate to 
Web2 later on (its not fully under my control to hot swap this interface).  
There are no notes in the normal install for this, and the wiki only discusses 
doing this by source.  However, I do see a 'icinga2-classicui-config' package 
which may help.

If we already have Classic setup under 1.x, can we just install this config 
package, or will a second 'standalone' compile of Classic (set to /icinga2/ on 
apache) be needed first?  We would like to keep the Icinga 1.x web instance 
intact, in case of rollback.


3) We run PNP4Nagios in Gearman Mode, with the process_perfdata.pl on a 
dedicated host.  Bulk Mode / NPCD does not seem to support this configuration 
(though I could just be reading the docs wrong).  Does anyone have tips on 
migrating this so we don't lose the grapher data?  

I have no concern with moving the graphs back to the Icinga Master, but we 
eventually want to use the PNP server as part of an active-active cluster pair 
with the Master.  So moving these files twice would be annoying.  We also don't 
use the popup integration etc, so if that breaks we don't care right now.

Graphite is a longer-term goal, but it would need to run in parallel for six 
months (minimum) before stopping our PNP setup.


Thanks in advance,
--TSK
