You need to be on Log Server version 2.1.2 for PHP 7.3 support.

You need to be on Log Server 2.1.6 for PHP 7.4 support.

You can see them listed in the changelogs here:

Hi ssax, is there any documentation (like for Nagios Xi) on how to upgrade to PHP 7.4 when running on NLS 2.1.7?

Thanks - ak

This should work for you (tested on mine), it uses the remi repo (it's a 3rd party repo):

Code: Select all

yum -y install yum-utils
PHPTZ=$(grep -s '^date.timezone' /etc/php.ini | awk '{print $3}')
yum -y remove php-*
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74
yum -y install php php-common php-devel php-cli php-ldap
sed -i "s:;date.timezone =.*:date.timezone = ${PHPTZ}:" /etc/php.ini
cd /tmp
rm -rf /tmp/nagioslogserver
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagios-log-server/2/nagioslogserver-2.1.7.tar.gz
tar xzf nagioslogserver-2.1.7.tar.gz
cd nagioslogserver
./upgrade

The reason you re-run the upgrade is to install the proper sourceguardian loaders for your new version of PHP.

Thanks ssax; I realized that since June '20, the Source Guardian was able to be updated as well for PHP 7.4, I wrote a small how-to, so if someone runs into the same issue than I did, it may help.

--------------------------
Upgrade PHP from 5.1.16 to 7.4 in Nagios Log Server with version 2.1.7 on server running with CentOS 7

Before any major upgrade/update, ensure you have a full backup in place

1) yum install php php-mcrypt php-cli php-gd php-curl php-mysql php-ldap php-zip php-fileinfo
2) yum install http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
3) If no yum-utils, install them -> yum install yum-utils
4) Enable PHP 7.4 by --> yum-config-manager --enable remi-php74
5) yum update

done

When rebooting, you will get an error on the Nagios log Server main page telling the application is protected by Source Guardian:

1) Download file ixed.7.4.lin
2) Copy file using WinSCP to Nagios Log Server --> path /usr/lib64/php/modules
3) Remove file ixed.5.1.lin at th same previous location
4) cd /etc/php.d
5) vi sourceguardian.ini
6) add extension=ixed.7.4.lin and remove extension=ixed.5.1.lin line
7) Save file and move out of VI
8) Restart Apache web server --> sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
