# Migrating from Icinga 1.x
## Configuration Migration
2013-10-10 09:40:50 +02:00
The Icinga 2 configuration format introduces plenty of behavioral changes. In
order to ease migration from Icinga 1.x,
2013-10-10 08:52:58 +02:00
Icinga 2 ships its own config conversion script.
### Configuration Conversion Script
2013-10-10 08:52:58 +02:00
Due to the complexity of the Icinga 1.x configuration format the conversion
2013-10-10 09:40:50 +02:00
script might not currently work for all use cases.
The config conversion script provides support for basic Icinga 1.x
2013-10-10 08:52:58 +02:00
configuration format conversion to native Icinga 2 configuration syntax.
2013-10-10 08:52:58 +02:00
The conversion 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.
2013-10-10 08:52:58 +02:00
The conversion script uses templates from the Icinga Template Library where
possible.

### Manual Config Conversion
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.
