Hi lmiltchev,

Thanks for reply and working fine,

I want to know one more thing that can we install manually Nagios XI by source Installer and please let me know on which Instance I can install it by manually.

Thanks,
Sjain

You absolutely can deploy from source if you wish. I know that it will work with RHEL 6.5, you might have mixed success with RHEL 7(we don't officially support it yet), and amazon ami images could work with minor install tweaking since they are centos systems, but again not technically supported. Stick with either RHEL or CentOS 6.x and older and you can use anything that falls within that category.

Hi sreinhardt,

I trying to install the Nagios XI manually by source Installer on AWS cloud, Linux Flavour is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.5 (Santiago).

When I am trying to install the Nagios XI it is giving the error (error mentioned below) and attached the install.log file.

[root@ip-15-0-0-x nagiosxi]# ./fullinstall

This script will do a complete install of Nagios XI by executing all necessary sub-scripts.

Kindly suggest to resolve the issue....

It looks like you haven't enable the optional channels. Try:
Also please note, that your redhat system must still have valid access to all standard yum repositories. I am not sure if AWS makes you apply your own key or not.

hi Sreinhardt,

I have gone through with your steps but still getting same error (error mentioned below).

You will need to talk to your RHEL admin to get that in place, that is a RHEL specific issue which he/she should be able to handle as it can deal with your licensing/versioning, as well as being environment specific in some cases.

Thanks for help..

I have try to get the help from RHEL support team but not get any sucess Please let me know can I use other AWS Image also to install the Nagios XI manually by source Installer on AWS cloud.

Thanks,
SJain

We did cover that, and you are currently stuck getting access to the OPTIONAL RHEL channels, if the commands sreinhardt gave you are not working you will need to get in contact with your RHEL admin as I mentioned. If you had access to a CENTOS server, you would not be required to register with the OPTIONAL channels.
