Post by Rupender »

Hi All,

All details are following:

Code: Select all

Nagiosxi 2012 R2.9 
Offloded Mysql server                                                                 Nagiosxi 2014 beta

First of all I would highly suggest not upgrading your production server to a BETA. BETA's are prone to bugs, and are a test bed for new features, they should not be used as a primary source for monitoring your infrastructure. I'd recommend using one of your 3 available license activations to create a testing server, and install the beta directly to there.

Second, if you are moving from 32-bit to 64-bit you need to follow the backup and restore document. The issue here is that you will need to convert your RRD's to 64-bit or you will lose your performance data.

You will need to make sure you have at least 2-3x the amount of space on the new server as the last one to convert the RRD binaries.

Hi Slansing,

As per your documentation i have migrated my old Nagiosxi 2012 2.9 (32 bit OS) to Nagiosxi 2014 R1.0 (64 bit OS), then i add same ip to new server and used same Offloaded Database server, , Everything was looking ok, but after some time i noticed that all hosts status are not updating and even when i try to add another new host it's showing processed ok but host is not showing there.

Here is my scenario:

Existing Configuration New Configuration
OS: Centos 5.4 32bit Centos 6.5 Final 64 bit
Nagiosxi 2012 R2.9 Offloaded Mysql server
Offloded Mysql server Nagiosxi 2014 R1.o
CPU: 4 core CPU: 4 core
RAM: 16 GB RAM: 16 GB



I attached the config file, please tell me what is going on?
