Thanks for the info, any idea when we can expect support for Debian 12?

I'm currently not aware of Debian 12 support on the roadmap, though I do know that Ubuntu 24 is currently planned for this summer.
I'll add this thread onto the list for our feature request tracking.

Hi TBT , The backup and restore process is the main path we recommend for people who want to change distributions. Some people do run into issues (especially if their system is heavily customized), so we recommend 1) taking a system-level backup (VM snapshot or similar), and 2) using your test syste...

Hi bongbi , I think it's clear from your post that you're able to form a connection, snmpwalk is finding results, and that it's successfully filtering results based on your MIB file. The last one I'd want to check on is the command timeout. Since you've already run snmpwalk from the command line, ho...

Hi olabisid , Thanks for reaching out - it sounds like you might be seeing two separate issues. First, there's the issue of getting your database credentials. When Nagios XI first sets up MySQL, it stores the root database password in /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/xi-sys.cfg. If the password in that file ...

Hi wmalcus , This upgrade process isn't using the application server's own database connection details - it's using a bash script that relies on the information in /usr/local/nagiosxi/etc/xi-sys.cfg . The upgrade script specifically needs to be able to access the database as the root user, so mysqlp...

Hi bancoatlas , thanks for reaching out. This is probably going to be something where you want to Open a Case with the Support team proper - they'll be able to look at the specifics of your environment and debug with you. That said, here's where I'd start: 1) Confirm that your CCM definitions are wh...

I agree that this seems reasonable to add! I've added an issue for this on Github.

That is useful context! I agree, if you have a team that you can delegate to, so that everyone is only updating a few hosts, then disabling and re-enabling the service checks individually should be fine. The two approaches I gave in the third paragraph could still work, but that's more useful if you...
