MYSQL Upgrade

Post by allenwallach »

Can you tell me what's involved to upgrade MYSQL to 5.1.49? Do we have to reinstall Nagios XI?

Depending on what OS & version you are running, you likely just need to run

Code: Select all

We are running RedHat version 5.8 and 5.9 and MYSQL 5.0.95

Are there going to be any issues upgrading the MYSQL to version 5.1.69? Will we have to do anything with configuring the database?

An upgrade should preserve your current settings. You should be okay upgrading, I personally recommend leaving all packages related to your Nagios installation where they are until one of our updates changes them. But there should be no issue here.
