Remove Nagios XI instance and do clean install

Post by rajasegar »

Please advice how to remove the existing Nagios XI instance and do a clean install of XI.
I want it to stop using the PostgreSQL and MySQL.

Thanks

Looks like it is still using MySQL and not MariaDB.
I made sure I uninstalled MySQL before installing XI.

The OS was CentOS 6.7

MariaDB is only used on RHEL / CentOS 7.x onwards.

You will have to re-install your server with CentOS 7 from scratch and then when XI installs it will install MariaDB (from the CentOS repos).

RHEL / CentOS 6.x will always use MySQL as this is what comes with the operating system.
