Nagios XI upgrade

[RIDS_I2MP]

Hello Team,

We want to update the Nagios Xi to the latest version. The current version of Nagios XI that we are using is:
Installed Version: 2014R2.7

We have checked for the updates and the latest version of Nagios XI available is:
Latest Available Version: 5.5.11

Please let us know if we can directly update Nagios XI to the latest version? Also, please provide the details regarding system requirements, memory space required and any other specific requirements as well for the latest Nagios XI version.

You should be able to upgrade this directly and the current version would have the same resource requirements as the previous version

Hello,

We have tried upgrading the Nagios XI to the current version from GUI.
But, it failed with error insufficient space. The /usr was full, we have recovered the existing version of Nagios XI now.

Please let us know the min space requirement for the same.

When you upgrade through the XI web interface it takes an XI backup first, that's likely why it ran out of space.

A good rule of thumb would be this:

When upgrading, make sure you have 3 times the backup size (for the temporary files, mysql temporary files, etc) for it to be successful, you can see the size of the backups (if you're backing up to the default location) using this command:

Code: Select all

ls -lh /store/backups/nagiosxi

Let us know if you have any questions.
