1.2B upgrade

Post by lance »

Hi,

Have just done a 1.2 --> 1.2B upgrade.

One each on RHEL5 & CENTOS5 (both VM's on ESX, 2G RAM, Dual processor)

In both got the following output at the start of the upgrade process:

*******************************
Adding logrotate entries...
error: nagiosxi:1 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes)
error: nagiosxi:2 unexpected text
error: nagiosxi:3 unexpected text
error: nagiosxi:4, unexpected text after {
error: nagiosxi:4 lines must begin with a keyword or a filename (possibly in double quotes)
*******************************

Was able to complete the upgrade & login to the interface, which presented me with the post install button to press. This worked just fine.

From all accounts, the installs seem to be working OK. Just wondering if the output above is of any concern.
Thanks

Lincoln

We've seen this error too, but we can't figure out why it occurs. Logwatch is complaining about the config file format of /etc/logrotate.d/nagiosxi, but it processes it okay. It doesn't appear to cause problems, but we're investigating what's going on.

"logrotate" is typically a cron job for handling large amounts of log files, rotating, compressing, or emailing, etc. I don't think it's anything serious that'll affect your use of XI, but I'll do some snooping around in the upgrade scripts and see what I can find out.
