Support Python Versions

[dbcummings]

What versions of Python are supported or "best" for the Nagios XI installation?

Hi @dcummings,

You'll need to python 2.x. The python plugins installed by Nagios XI in /usr/local/nagios/libexec as well as most of the plugins in Nagios Exchange are written in 2.x

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Our servers have 2.7.5 installed by default. If I install 2.7.9 for pip, it is deposited in an alternate directory. The fullinstall script has an error on boto3 because of this. I have installed an alternate python to install boto3 using pip. However, Nagios XI doesn't "see" boto3 after the install. Thoughts?

I think boto3 us just getting installed in the local users path instead of the global

try the following:

Code: Select all

sudo su
cd ~
umask 022
pip install boto3

[dbcummings]

That did not solve the problem.

Where is boto3 installing?

[dbcummings]

/opt/rh/python27/root/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages

I have attempted symlinks and copy the directories to /usr/lib/python2.7 and changing permissions but no dice.

Trying to do some digging here and I'd like to try one more thing

Code: Select all

sudo python -m pip install boto3

No dice.

Boto3 gets deployed into /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages and I can do an import boto3 in python, but the Nagios XI config wizards are still asking for me to install boto3.
