        Short description
        -----------------
        
        This package contains an utility tool `alignak-backend-import` that allows to import a Nagios-like flat files monitoring configuration into an Alignak Backend.
        
        Release strategy
        ----------------
        
        Alignak backend and its *satellites* (backend client, and backend import tools) must all have the same features level. As of it, take care to install the same minor version on your system to ensure compatibility between all the packages. Use 0.4.x version of Backend import and Backend client with a 0.4.x version of the Backend.
        
        
        Alignak backend import
        ----------------------
        
        The `alignak-backend-import` script may be used to import a Nagios like flat-files configuration into the Alignak backend.
        
        The online `documentation<http://alignak-backend-import.readthedocs.io/en/latest/utilities.html#alignak-backend-importation>`_ exaplins all the command line parameters that may be used.
        
        A simple usage example for this script::
        
            # Assuming that you installed: alignak, alignak-backend and alignak-backend-import
        
            # From the root of this repository
            cd tests/alignak_cfg_files
            # Import the test configuration in the Alignak backend
            alignak-backend-import -d -m ./alignak-demo/alignak-backend-import.cfg
        
            # The script imports the configuration and makes some console logs:
                alignak_backend_import, inserted elements:
                - 6 command(s)
                - 3 host(s)
                - 3 host_template(s)
                - no hostdependency(s)
                - no hostescalation(s)
                - 12 hostgroup(s)
                - 1 realm(s)
                - 1 service(s)
                - 14 service_template(s)
                - no servicedependency(s)
                - no serviceescalation(s)
                - 12 servicegroup(s)
                - 2 timeperiod(s)
                - 2 user(s)
                - 3 usergroup(s)
        
            # To confirm, you easily can get an host from the backend
            alignak-backend-cli -t host get test_host_0
        
            # The script dumps the json host on the console and creates a file: */tmp/alignak-object-dump-host-test_host_0.json*
            {
                ...
                "active_checks_enabled": true,
                "address": "127.0.0.1",
                "address6": "",

                    "_OSTYPE": "gnulinux"
                },
                ...
            }
        
            # Get the list of all imported hosts from the backend
            alignak-backend-cli --list -t host get
        
            # The script dumps the json list of hosts on the console and creates a file: */tmp/alignak-object-list-hosts.json*
            {
                ...
                "active_checks_enabled": true,
                "address": "127.0.0.1",
                "address6": "",
                "alias": "test_host_0",
                ...
                "customs": {
                    "_OSLICENSE": "gpl",
                    "_OSTYPE": "gnulinux"
