New Offline Installation Instructions

[cgutierr]

Hello,


Can Nagios Support provide new instructions for an offline installation? The instructions I found doesn't seem to work anymore with the newest version of Python PIP.


V/R,

@cgutierr, Are you following this instruction? I believe it should just install all rpm packages locally with yum.

Also, what is the version of your operating system?

I'm looking for offline installation instructions for Nagios Log Server not Nagios XI. Here are the instructions I was using before:

What OS is this? What version of pip? Are you getting a specific error or warning message?

The steps were recently updated and should work. Any other details you can provide can help us narrow the problem down and/or update the doc.

This is on a RHEL7 OS with PIP version 19.1.1 as the download server. When I run this command:

[root@download]# grep 'pip install' fullinstall | sed 's/pip install/& -d \/tmp\/pipfiles\//' | source /dev/stdin

Usage:
pip install [options] <requirement specifier> [package-index-options] ...
pip install [options] -r <requirements file> [package-index-options] ...
pip install [options] [-e] <vcs project url> ...
pip install [options] [-e] <local project path> ...
pip install [options] <archive url/path> ...

no such option: -d

Try this instead:

Code: Select all

grep 'pip install' fullinstall | sed 's/pip install --upgrade/pip download -d \/tmp\/pipfiles\//' | source /dev/stdin

On the last step when I run this:

[root@nls bin]# cd /usr/local/nagioslogserver/logstash/bin/
[root@nls bin]# ./logstash-plugin install --local /tmp/logstash-input-tcp-4.2.4-java.gem
Validating /tmp/logstash-input-tcp-4.2.4-java.gem

Plugin not found, aborting
ERROR: Installationn Aborted, message: Could not find gem 'logstash-filter-geoip
(= 4.0.4) java' in any of the gem source listed in your Gemfile or installed
on this machine.

Run this on the server that has internet access:

Code: Select all

wget https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-filter-geoip-4.0.4-java.gem

Then transfer it to the /tmp directory on the NLS machine and run:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagioslogserver/logstash/bin/
./logstash-plugin install --local /tmp/logstash-filter-geoip-4.0.4-java.gem
./logstash-plugin install --local /tmp/logstash-input-tcp-4.2.4-java.gem

Thank you this worked!

Thanks for the update! I'll see that the document gets updated.
