This is not a kickstart issue. This is an issue with the nagios-xi install. As you can see it is failing at step 6.

The script that failed was: './6-firewall'

-Krishna

Try enabling the module as this post mentions (http://askubuntu.com/questions/28215/ho ... ble-filter) -

Wanted to check if you had chance to look at my question. We disable firewall during the kickstart. Is there a way I can have the fullinstall skip the iptables setup?


-Krishna

If you really want to skip the iptables setup then you can always try commenting out the corresponding line in the fullinstall script:
# run_sub ./6-firewall

Or comment out lines 42 onward in the '6-firewall' script.

This is not supported so I've never tried it and can't guarantee anything. Otherwise what was the outcome of the command in rkennedy's post?
Is the outcome any different if you run through the process manually instead of through KS as tmcdonald mentioned?

This all the I see in the full install script

Is installing/enabling iptables on this system in the interim an option? The nagiosxi-5-2.9.el6.x86_64.rpm depends on iptables. The rpm could be rebuilt without the iptables dependency, but I don't know how likely that is of happening.

I was able to install nagios-xi by touching the installed.firewall to skip the iptables setup. I however have few followup question.

1. Setup the nagiosAdmin user without using the GUI ?
2. Accept the license without using the GUI?
3. Is there a way to add the license key manually without using the GUI?

Thanks
Krishna

That is one way to get around it. To answer your questions, none of these are going to be possible. Accessing the GUI is required to finish the initial installation.

Is there a specific reason for your questions?

Yes, Most of the application we have are automated through our kickstart or rollout process.

We check-in any custom configuration files for an application and install it through our rollout process or make the required change using automated scripts. So that we can quickly bring up an instance in-case of an issue with the current application with less manual intervention.

So it there was a way to set up a default admin password and accepting the license it would be helpful.

Also it would be great if you can share any documentation for Nagios-xi AD integration without using the GUI.

Thanks
Krishna

The functionality to set the admin password, accept the license, or configure AD from the command line is not currently available. If this is something that you need help implementing you can reach out to [email protected] to get a quote on custom development.

Thank you
