Hello,
Im going to update my Nagios Core Version 3.4.1 to a Version 3.5.1. But i notes that there is a version 4 (BETA release). So my first question is ( if you know ) when it will be stable this 4 version. And my main question is how to update. I read in the documentation but i want to make sure if that is all.
Extract the Nagios source code tarball.
tar xzf nagios-3.x.tar.gz
cd nagios-3.x
Run the Nagios configure script, passing the name of the group used to control external command file
permissions like so:
./configure --with-command-group=nagcmd
Compile the Nagios source code.
16
make all
Install updated binaries, documentation, and web web interface. Your existing configuration files will
not be overwritten by this step.
make install
Verify your configuration files. Correct any errors shown here before proceeding with the next step.
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Restart Nagios. Debian/Ubuntu users should use /etc/init.d/nagios restart.
/sbin/service nagios restart
That’s it - you’re done!
And is it the same procedure for the nagios 4 version ??

It is nearly the same if not identical, and it should be released within the next few weeks I would imagine. We are planning to have it out, at or before the conference.
