Help - I just blew away my configs

[Sean Carley]

You can also try /nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi, not sure if that shows the
running or on-disk configs.

A pretty significant portion of the configurations are stored in the
objects cache (/var/log/Nagios/objects.cache for me).  This won't be as
clean as your configs (and I'm not sure Nagios can use this file as a
config directly), but you should be able to recover a pretty good amount
of your running configs from there, and start reconstructing the config
files.

May I be the first to suggest placing your configuration in revision
control, which will help mitigate this problem in the future.  I would
suggest Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/) or git
(http://git-scm.com/).

Good luck!
