Virual Machine OS update

Hello everybody,

I'm evaluating NagiosXI R1.4 using the OVF template on an ESXi Host. It works fine.

My question:
Should I do 'yum update' to update the CentOS 6.5 the NagiosXI application is based on. Or is it better to leave the OS as it is. There are currently 92 updates offered plus a kernel update.

Thanks!
Jochen

The upgrade *should not* effect XI. But as with all major upgrades, snapshot or backup first.
