Can I upgrade XI 2014R1.3 to latest version

[dimsum]

Hi,

I have a plan to upgrade my Nagios XI 2014R1.3 running on CentOS 6.5 I have a question, Can I upgrading from the online manual and is possible? or I need to install CentOS 7 and restore from the legacy version.

Here, the online manual: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ctions.pdf

Any idea, Please advise.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @dimsum,

It sounds like you would like to do a migration to Cent 7. Is this correct?

Also, can you run the following command and post the output to see which database you are using for XI:

Code: Select all

awk '/"nagiosxi" => array\(/{getline;print}' /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php

Thanks.

์Not migration, Actually I need in-place upgrade.

Thank you.

I think they test back to 2012.

Is this a VM? Take a VM snapshot first AND an XI backup, then try to go directly to the latest.

If you have any issues, please send us the entire output from the very beginning of the install.

Thank you!

Hi,

Yes, XI running on VM.

I will in-place upgrade and do you have an alternative if in-place not working.

PS. I will send the output if any issue with in-place upgrade.

Thank you.

Sounds good. We'll wait for an update.

How can I disable all notification or all checking when I upgrading. I have concerned the existing plugin not working.

Thank you.

Hell @dimsum,

If you open the main Nagios configuration file at /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg there are a couple options you can change to turn off checks and notifications:

Code: Select all

enable_notifications=0
execute_service_checks=0

Once you make the those changes, restart Nagios.

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Let me know if you have further questions.

Hi,

I got a network issue from the attached. So can Nagios force upgrade via HTTP only not https the system could access HTTP?

Thank you.

Hi @dimsum,

The error message is not typical as the SSL certificate is not self-signed. Do you have a proxy configured on your network? If this is the case, this is known to cause issues with Nagios XI ( see: Nagios XI - Problems Using Nagios XI With Proxies ).

You can try using the --no-check-certificate option?

Code: Select all

wget --no-check-certificate -O upgrade.sh https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/upgrade.sh
sh ./upgrade.sh
