It is always a good idea to have a backup of your config directory in case there are issues.

That said, the upgrade should be seemless

Hi Scott Wilkerson,

The steps are as follows

Code: Select all

1) cd /usr/local/
2)cp -r nagios /backup
3)systemctl stop nagios.service
4)cd /tmp
5)wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/releases/nagios-4.4.2.tar.gz
6) tar xzf nagios-4.4.2.tar.gz
7)cd nagios-4.4.2
8)./configure
9)make all
10)make install
11)make install-daemoninit
12) Update nagios.cfg
If you are upgrading from Nagios Core 4.3.2 and earlier you will need to update the nagios.cfg file to point to /var/run/nagios.lock using the following command:

sed -i 's/^lock_file=.*/lock_file=\/var\/run\/nagios.lock/g' /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
13)cp -r /backup/nagios /usr/local/nagios/ ( I am not sure about this step -> Please comment)
14)systemctl start nagios.service
15)systemctl status nagios.service
16)/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -V
17)#/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Please suggest.

You would not do step 13

This is only something you would do if there was a problem and you needed to revert to the backup you created.
