XI 5.2.0 installation - install.log is ugly

[SteveBeauchemin]

I use CentOS 7 as an alpha test system prior to production installation on Red Hat 7.

In my office I can setup and tear down CentOS all day. Our production environment
is outsourced and standardized on Red Hat. So before I try to put XI5 in production
I am doing tests.

I am setting up CentOS using the 'minimal' install.
After an XI5.2.0 install on a clean Centos 7 system I look at the install.log

I am seeing warnings and compile errors, and SQL warnings.

grep -i "warning:" install.log | grep -v deprecated | wc -l
66

grep -i "SQL Error" install.log | wc -l
15

and in the NRDP component install - many deprecated complaints (21), and a termination error.
scons: *** [build/release/makensis/script.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

MRTG rateup.c has problems


So, my questions are:

Am I the only one?
When is the 5.2.1 coming out and will these issues be fixed.

To be fair, I did PM to John F. these in an attachment, and he has touched some files to address the code issues.
That was XI5.1.0 and I have done the same test of XI5.2.0 and had the same plus additional errors now in the SQL part.

When will John's changes get into the download so I can try again. The support folks at work here are
in process of setting up a new clean install of Red Hat for me and it should be ready for me next week.

I would like to try again on my CentOS and see a clean install.log before I put this into production use on RH.

Please try this yourself before asking me for a bunch of data. I will send my install log if you need it, but I
would be happier to get independent verification from someone else that I screwed up and that their install
was perfect with no issues.

Please advise.

Thanks

Using CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1503-01.iso as the install (as many default options as I could - Chicago timezone, minimal install, automatic partitioning, root password nagiosxi), these are my literal steps to get XI 5.2 installed:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
dhclient
yum install wget
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.2.0.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-5.2.0.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./fullinstall

and my greps:

Code: Select all

grep -i "warning:" install.log | grep -v deprecated | wc -l
52
grep -i "SQL Error" install.log | wc -l
15

So it's not just you. Everything does seem to be running fine, however. A few of those warnings were from yum, a good chunk were saying "You have this variable in your source that you don't use" and can be ignored, some are possibly legitimate code-quality things in C that are of no concern, and the rest were the "deprecated" messages you discarded. Regarding the SQL errors, they all seem to be trying to drop columns in a table but those tables have names that I haven't seen before. It might be some cleanup code leftover from an upgrade script. I'll need to see what the devs say about it.

Long story short: As annoying as it can be not having a "clean" install log, I would say those can be ignored.

The NDRP component compile termination - nsis related - NRDP still working?

scons: *** [build/release/makensis/script.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

I'll doing my best to avert my eyes for now. It worked for the kilt.

Thanks for sanity check.

I just tested from the Inbound Transfers page, it went right through and showed up in Unconfigured Objects about 6 seconds later.

It worked for the kilt.

Everything works with the kilt.



All good to close this up now?

[SteveBeauchemin]

Sure. Close... and Thanks. Next week I'm gonna go 'Live' with XI 5.
