Does NagiosXI upgrades also upgrade MySQL server?

Post by akepley »

We are running on CentOS 6.8 for our NagiosXI installation. We are on 5.2.3 and will be upgrading to 5.2.9. I see in the installation that debian based installations do a apt-get for mysql-server but cannot find that in the CentOS installation. Does NagiosXI update MySQL during upgrades?

A little more information:

$cfg['dbtype']=''; // this setting is no longer used - use settings below
"dbtype" => 'pgsql',
"dbtype" => 'mysql',
"dbtype" => 'mysql',
//require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/db/'.$cfg['dbtype'].'.inc.php');


We are specifically asking about MySQL for this question. Does NagiosXI upgrades also upgrade MySQL in any releases major or minor?

CentOS/RHEL6 will use MySQL, where as CentOS7/RHEL7 will us MariaDB. We do not specifically upgrade MySQL, but if a newer version is available through your repositories then it'll be updated at that time.
