nagiosxi upgrade path

[xx101]

Hello,

we'd like to upgrade our nagios from 5.2.9 to the latest version. can we do a direct upgrade stated here? https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ctions.pdf

or do we need to jump from one version to another to achieve this version?

Hi xx101,

In most cases that will work, let us know what operating system you have 5.2.9 installed on and I'll look into it further.

Thanks,
Benjamin

Hi,

Okay, thank you. I just tested that and it works. If you run into the following GPG key error.

Retrieving key from file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-NAGIOS
The GPG keys listed for the "Nagios" repository are already installed but they are not correct for this package.

Please try to update the Naigos Repo as suggested in the post below.
Nagios XI yum update

I recommend running the manual upgrade from the command line as root.

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi xi*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade

As always please take a full backup and VM snapshot before proceeding.
