Is migrating from 2024R1.1.5 to 2024R2.2.1 supported?

[Petaris]

Hello,

I need to migrate from Nagios XI 2024R1.1.5 running on RHEL 7 to RHEL 9, eventually ending up on the latest 2026 release. In the migration doc it states that migration needs to be to the same version however 2024R1.1.5 does not appear to be available for RHEL 8 or RHEL 9 and it is the latest version available for RHEL 7. Is it possible, and safe, to migrate from 2024R1.1.5 on RHEL 7 to 2024R2.2.1 on RHEL 9?

Thanks!

Hello @Petaris,

Nagios XI 2024R1.1.5 is available on both RHEL 8 and RHEL 9. As you mentioned, it's recommended to migrate OSs with the same version of XI and then upgrade to the latest.

For more specifics on which versions are compatible with which OSs, here is the corresponding documentation.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi @ekapsner,

We are using the RPM release and I do not see that version of the RPM in the official Nagios repos for either RHEL 8 or 9. Do you know if there is somewhere else they would be or would I have to migrate to a non-RPM release?

Thank you

Hi @Petaris,

We only keep RPMs for the five most recent releases. Migrating to a non-RPM release is the most feasible option.

With that being said, it may be worth opening a support ticket. They may be able to be of more help.

Thanks @ekapsner.

I'll look into what the best option is and possibly open a support ticket.
