Nagios Support Forum

We recently bought the enterprise nagiosxi license. We are attempting to update the server to 2012r2.5, but this is the error we are getting after putting in the ./update command:

Could not determine the OS. Please make sure lsb_release is installed.

What OS have you been running on and are updating\installing on now? lsb_release should be standard on any Cent\RHEL install that I know of. We can get around it one way or another, I just want to be sure that we give you the right tools to avoid it in the future too!

We are currently running a vsphere OFV template version Nagios XI 2012R2.3. We wanted to upgrade to 2.6, but we keep getting that particular error.

Can you run the following and provide the output please?

cat /etc/redhat-release
rpm -q centos-release

Here is the output:



VM-DC-Mon01:~ # cat /etc/redhat-release
cat: /etc/redhat-release: No such file or directory
VM-DC-Mon01:~ # cat: /etc/redhat-release: No such file or directory
-bash: cat:: command not found
VM-DC-Mon01:~ # rpm -q centos-release
package centos-release is not installed
VM-DC-Mon01:~ #

Try "yum -y install redhat-lsb"

I apologize I was on the wrong server just now. This is the output I get on the correct server:


[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -q centos-release
centos-release-6-4.el6.centos.10.x86_64

I was able to upgrade the NagiosXi server. I have several questions
Is there a way to transition everything from my nagios core server to the xi server with the categories they are in?
Also, do all servers have to have a parent server because that wasn't needed in Nagios Core?

I believe we just spoke on the phone about this, you should be all set with those two importing documents.

I followed each step from both documents and all of the servers are not appearing.
