How to migrate Linux clients from Nagios Core to Nagios XI

[hkang]

Then I prefer to delete the existing installs and install linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz from scratch. It seems a lot easier. How can I delete the existing installs? Would you send me the instructions on that?

Thank you!

Something similar to this should do the trick:

Code: Select all

delgroup nagios
deluser nagios
rm -f /etc/xinet.d/nrpe
service xinetd restart
rm -rf /usr/local/nagios

Your file paths may vary.

Please note the last line will delete a lot of files, do not run this on a nagios server, only a server you want to remove nrpe on.

Can I just install linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz without deleting the existing installs?

As far as I know, it should work, but I have not tested this. You may want to look at what the fullinstall script is doing to make sure it doesn't interfere with anything that's in place.

I tried the linux-nrpe-agent.tar.gz installation with and without deleting the existing installs. They both work.

Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks for that update. Are you back on track now or are there any lingering issues?

[hkang]

I didn't see any other issues so far. We are now ready to move forward with the purchase of Nagios XI. Thank you!
