Upgrade NRPE / Ndoutils / Nagios Plugins on Nagios XI

[DennisPR]

Hi,

I was wondering if you need to manually upgrade NRPE / Ndoutils / Nagios Plugins on Nagios XI or if that comes with the upgrades of Nagios XI

The upgrade script used to upgrade Nagios XI includes multiple considerations for updates to NRPE, nagios-plugins, ndoutils, and Nagios Core.

Code: Select all

$ cat upgrade | grep NRPE
NRPE_UPDATED=0
        # Upgrade NRPE to latest
        if [ $NRPE_UPDATED -eq 0 ]; then
                        NRPE_UPDATED=1

$ cat upgrade | grep NDO
NDO_UPDATED=0
        # Modify NDOutils database to make sure upgrades have been completed
        if [ $NDO_UPDATED -eq 0 ]; then
            NDO_UPDATED=1
    # Upgrade NDOUtils 2.1.2
        if [ $NDO_UPDATED -eq 0 ]; then
            NDO_UPDATED=1
        if [ $NDO_UPDATED -eq 0 ]; then
            NDO_UPDATED=1

$ cat upgrade | grep plugins
    # Upgrade plugins to 2.0.3
                        cd ./subcomponents/nagiosplugins
        cd subcomponents/extraplugins/check_mysql_health-2.1.8.2
    cp -r subcomponents/extraplugins/check_mysql_health-2.1.8.2/plugins-scripts/check_mysql_health /usr/local/nagios/libexec/
    # Upgrade extra plugins (specifically check_rrdtraf)
        cd ./subcomponents/extraplugins
        # Upgrade extra plugins (specifically adding Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin)
        cd ./subcomponents/extraplugins
        # Upgrade extra plugins (for properly updating check_snmp_win to latest version)
        cd ./subcomponents/extraplugins

$ cat upgrade | grep core
        cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/2009r1.1i.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
        cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/nagiosadmin.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
        cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/2009r1.2b.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
        cp -f subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/nagios.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/
        cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/2009r1.4.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
        cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/2011r1.4.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
        cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/2011r1.5.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
    # Upgrade core to 4.0.5
                cp subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/cfg/fixes/2014r1.0.cfg /usr/local/nagios/etc/import
    cp -r subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/nagios.init /etc/init.d/nagios
                        cd ./subcomponents/nagioscore
        if [ $ver -eq 7 ] && [ -f /usr/local/nagvis/share/server/core/classes/WuiViewEditMainCfg.php ]; then
                sed -i 's/.*\$arr\[\$propname\]\['\''default'\''\].*/if (\!is_array(\$prop\['\''default'\''\])) { & } /' /usr/local/nagvis/share/server/core/classes/WuiViewEditMainCfg.php
    cp -r subcomponents/nagioscore/mods/nagios.init /etc/init.d/nagios
                        cd ./subcomponents/nagioscore
                        cd ./subcomponents/nagioscore
chmod ug+x "$proddir/scripts/nom_restore_nagioscore_checkpoint_specific.sh"

It may not always include the latest versions of the aforementioned for stability reasons.

Thanks @mcapra!

I will add that upgrading NDOUtils outside of our install process is a bad idea.

Unless you are using another machine to check the XI machine in question, there's really no need to upgrade NRPE on the XI box.
