Hello,
I'm unable to update yum package initscripts.x86_64 0:9.03.31-2 on my Nagios XI production server, which is on a the Nagios 'default' XI 64bit image. Put this same question on CentOS support forum, but I was wondering if this was a known issue?

Is there an available "updated" package? What is the output of the following command?
Code: Select all
yum check-update | grep initscripts
Can you show us the errors that you got while trying to update the package?

Is the ifup-post's immutable bit set? Can you show us the output of the following command?
Code: Select all
lsattr /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post

Remove the immutable bit from that file and try to update again. Run this to clear the bit.
Code: Select all
chattr -i /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post

Hey Tom,
I'll do this beginning next week. Just noticed there is a yum update of postgresql. Is it safe to update on XI?
Code: Select all
postgresql.x86_64 8.4.20-2.el6_6 updates
postgresql-devel.x86_64 8.4.20-2.el6_6 updates
postgresql-libs.x86_64 8.4.20-2.el6_6 updates
postgresql-server.x86_64 8.4.20-2.el6_6
Grtz
Willem

I updated postgres on one of my test boxes and I haven't seen any issues so far. Having said that, I cannot guarantee that you wouldn't have any issues in your environment. I would recommend trying the update on your test server. There is a reason why with each XI license we offer three installations - one primary monitoring/production, one backup/failover, and one test environment.

Ok, thanks Ludmill. I will update Postgresql on my qa server next week. It would be nice though if we could get a 'go' from Nagios support for certain updates like postgresql / mysql /gearman.
