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,

I have installed Nagios core 4.3.4 using compressed tarball source file. Any steps to follow to upgrade it to Nagios Core 4.4.2 using source file?

Best Regards,

Kaushal

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.

Best Regards,

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.
