Installing Nagios XI on a AWS EC2 RHEL Instance

[ctwhyexit]

Hi Experts,

I've seen a similar thread on this before but I need a clarification.
We are evaluating Nagios XI for a client having a instance on the AWS cloud. It is running on Red Hat 6.5 and has access to the following repositories,

[root@hostname nagiosxi]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: amazon-id, rhui-lb, security
repo id repo name status
rhui-REGION-client-config-server-6 Red Hat Update Infrastructure 2.0 Client Configuration Server 6 4
rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 (RPMs) 14,681
rhui-REGION-rhel-server-releases-optional Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 Optional (RPMs) 8,239
rhui-REGION-rhel-server-rh-common Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 RH Common (RPMs) 96
repolist: 23,020

As you can see, the repository does have the Optional RPM included but Nagios XI fails with,

Unable to locate SystemId file. Is this system registered?
ERROR: Please add the 'Optional' channel to your Red Hat systems subscriptions.
You can do so in the Redhat Network web interface or using the rhn-channel command.
or, install the yum-utils package and use the following command:
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
RESULT=1


We cannot register the system with Red Hat as we already have these instances getting the packages from AWS repos and do not need a subscription to get the packages from RH repository. What is your advice/suggestion for customers like us who have a functional RH system with the required repository listed. Is there any way we can tweak the underlying installer.

Thanks for your help.

Instead of lines 31 through 39, do 30 through 39.

Thank you. I tried this earlier and the installer failed saying it could not install a package pymssql from the repository (nagios-deps) the script was supposed to install. I did a re-install of the OS and tried again by commenting out, line 30 to line 57 on 0-repos file under nagiosxi folder
That worked.

Thank you for your help
