Hi,
I am currently running nagios 4.2.0 in my production environment. What is the recommended method of upgrading it to nagios 4.2.1 version? Do i need to take a backup of the configs and install it during scheduled maintenance window time period or do i need to have one more node which will monitor the clients as the the upgradation process is currently going on in the primary node.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Kaushal

Re: Upgrade steps
You should be able to just run through our instructions once again -
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Source.pdf
Except, skip the parts that create users and such.
Then run your configure / makes and recompile the newer version.

Code: Select all
cd /tmp
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nagios-4.2.0.tar.gz
tar zxvf nagios-4.2.0.tar.gz

Re: Upgrade steps
We have upgrade steps at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ading.html. Yours look good, but they could be a little different depending on your OS.
I do see one thing missing, although it might happen outside of the command. Make sure you take a full system backup!

Hi dwhitfield,
I have a followup question regarding I do see one thing missing, although it might happen outside of the command. Make sure you take a full system backup!
Are you saying to do cp -r /usr/local/nagios /backup/nagios.original. I am currently running Nagios 4.2.0 on CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
Please correct me if i am understanding it wrong. Thanks in Advance

Re: Upgrade steps
I was thinking like a VM snapshot. You might be taking regular OS backups already. If that's the case, then I wouldn't worry too much about it. This is not a nagios-specific suggestion, just a suggestion for any time you upgrade software on a production system.
If a full system backup is not an option, then certainly your suggested command will be useful.
Please let me know if you need additional clarity.
