PHP Version Upgrades to 7.4

Post by optionstechnology »

All of our Nagios servers are built from OVF

We are currently running a mix of php versions - from PHP 5.3.3 to PHP 5.4.16

Hoping to upgrade to version v7.4 to address security vulnerabilities

Will this cause any issues with NagiosXI? (running a mix of XI versions 5.6.8 and 5.6.9)

Hello @optionstechnology,

Regarding the security vulnerabilities, keep in my that Redhat does backport security fixes to the older, stable versions of php to maintain compatibility.

See: https://access.redhat.com/security/updates/backporting

That said, for those customers that need to upgrade, take a look at the following guide on our knowledgebase. Keep in mind this requires the installation of additional repos outside the standard distribution.

Versions 5.6.8 or higher of Nagios XI will support up to php version 7.3
