Hi Kevin,
I recognized, that migrating from 2.10 to 3.0 ended in 4000 unwanted 
mails over the weekend ... ;-) (Due to a strange notification 
configuration.) Well, I inherited the old system, and recognized, that 
it made more sense for me, to start with monitoring some basic systems 
in 3.0 and getting used to the new system first (since I am quite new to 
nagios) and then integrating some of the old config-files (host-cfgs). 
This scenario worked pretty well for me. I don't know how much the 
config-format has changed since 1.x, maybe you don't have to write 
everything anew. (My luck was, that we almost exclusivly monitor the 
up-down-state of 1100 switches and routers, no fancy checks involved.)
In the process of upgrading, I used the preflight-check a lot, and when 
the check-script didn't complain, I restartet or reloaded nagios.
How many hosts or services are you monitoring? Do you just use standard 
plugins?
I wish you the best of luck however.

Greetz, Marcus
