## <a id="configuration-migration"></a> Configuration Migration
The Icinga 2 configuration format introduces plenty of behavioural changes. In
2013-10-10 09:40:50 +02:00
order to ease migration from Icinga 1.x,
2013-10-22 12:21:46 +02:00
Icinga 2 ships its own config migration script.
### <a id="configuration-migration-script"></a> Configuration Migration Script
2013-10-22 12:21:46 +02:00
Due to the complexity of the Icinga 1.x configuration format the migration
2013-10-10 09:40:50 +02:00
script might not currently work for all use cases.
2013-10-22 12:21:46 +02:00
The config migration script provides support for basic Icinga 1.x
configuration format migration to native Icinga 2 configuration syntax.
2013-10-22 12:21:46 +02:00
The migration script tries to preserve your existing template structure and
2013-10-10 09:40:50 +02:00
adds new templates where appropriate. However, the original file structure is
not preserved.
2013-10-22 12:21:46 +02:00
The migration script uses templates from the Icinga Template Library where
2013-10-10 08:52:58 +02:00
possible.

2013-10-10 09:40:50 +02:00
For a long-term migration of your configuration you should consider re-creating
your configuration based on the Icinga 2 proposed way of doing configuration right.
