We are not the package maintainers for CentOS/RHEL. Our instructions for compiling from source are available at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Source.pdf (note you will need to change 4.2.0 to 4.2.4).

If you have previously installed from repos, you should backup your data, and then uninstall the rpm. If you try to compile over the top of the repo version, you will run into issues.

We are working to become maintainers, but this takes some time, especially considering all of the distros out there.

Compiling from source is really not hard at all. The instructional video I recorded on CentOS is about 5 minutes long (or course, that's not compiling the plugins and the configuration). https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96 walks you through compiling both Nagios Core and the plugins. I understand that some environments do not allow compiling from source. That's why we're working on it.
