1. Create configuration files emplacement for new source by copying the /etc/shinken-user/source-data/source-data-cfg-sample folder and renaming it to /etc/shinken-user/source-data/source-data-cfg-source_name.
   Also rename /etc/shinken-user/source-data/source-data-cfg-source_name/definition-source-data-cfg-sample.cfg into /etc/shinken-user/source-data/source-data-cfg-source_name/definition-source-data-cfg-source_name.cfg
    
2. Copy  /etc/shinken/modules/cfg-file-shinken.cfg  into another cfg file name and configure it.
   • Change the module name, for example cfg-file-source_name
     Remember that the module_name must be unique

   • cfg_path must be set to /etc/shinken-user/source-data/source-data-cfg-source_name/definition-source-data-cfg-source_name.cfg

      

3. Copy  /etc/shinken/sources/cfg-file-shinken.cfg into an other cfg file name and configure it:
   
   • Change the source name, for example cfg-file-source_name
     Remember that the source_name must be unique.
   • modules must be set to the new module you just defined (cfg-file-source_name)
      
4. Then you must declare the source_name source in the file /etc/shinken/synchronizers/synchronizer-master.cfg.
   

   • Add the source name in the line sources

     Code Block
     define synchronizer { ... sources syncui,cfg-file-shinken,active-dir,sync-vmware,cfg-file-nagios,discovery,cfg-file-source_name ... }

5. Restart the synchronizer for it to recognize the new source
   
   
6. Load your configuration files into the new source emplacement: /etc/shinken-user/source-data/source-data-cfg-source_name
