Problem : Nagios installation failing for rhel7.1 machine on power machine showing
package downloaded : xi-latest.tar.gz
description : I have downloaded the package and untar it .
when I ran ./fullinstall got the following error .

"Your system $PATH does not include /sbin and /usr/sbin. This is usually the result of installing GNOME rather than creating a clean system.
Adding /sbin and /usr/sbin to $PATH.

Nagios XI Full Installer
========================

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

IMPORTANT: This script should only be used on a 'clean' install of CentOS or RedHat. Do NOT use this on a system that has been tasked with other purposes or has an existing install of
Nagios Core. To create such a clean install you should have selected ONLY the 'Base' package in the OS installer.

Check for error messages in the install log (install.log).

If you require assistance in resolving the issue, please include install.log

The script that failed was: './0-repos'

packages/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.ppc64le.rpm package is neither found in yum repository nor in redhart rpm repository.

Please help for installation .

This could be caused by a few different things.
- Are you installing Nagios XI on a fresh install of RHEL 7.1, or are other applications running on it?
- Do you have a desktop GUI running on it?
- Does this machine have internet access (if so, are you behind a corp. proxy at all)?

Yes, it is a fresh installation.
This is a power8 node under IBM firewall, it has internet solution.
" packages/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.ppc64le.rpm" is missing and we are unable to find this package(resolving this dependency may leads to success).
Can you plz help us in finding the correct installer package for linux on power architecture ( ppc64le )
or suggest steps to build the source file locally which can be install offline

As the architecture for this machine is ppc64le, we cannot support it. Generally, Nagios XI is made to work on 32/64 bit, with packages related to one of those. As the package is not even available (even after I looked around other areas), I don't think Nagios XI will run properly on a power machine.

I was able to find an RPM for Nagios Core PPC64LE ( http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/fedor ... c64le.html ), which might work for you, but I don't know the scope of what you're trying to do.

The link provided above is for rpm "nagios-common-4.0.8-1.fc24 RPM for ppc64le".
same error still there.

1)Other than NagiosXi do you know other version of nagios that is supported on power ppc64le architecture.(nagios core or somthing )
we are trying to use nagios on a node of the power server, we want to monitor other nodes in the server.

2) can we take take the source and compile and rebuild the package in power machine that can be installed.

What error do you get when trying to install the ppc64le RPM?

Nagios core is what your option would be, as for taking it from source and compiling -- it's worth a try. Unfortunately, as I said in my previous post though - we cannot support it though. You can find it at https://www.nagios.org/projects/nagios-core/.

I was able to get through these inconveniences.
My guess is this path for ppc64le breaks down with the lack of published SourceGuardian loaders.
All the PHP files in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes are encoded and there does not appear to be an option to use non-encoded files.

Thanks for posting your solution.

This thread is very old and I will be locking this topic as the OP has not come back ever since.
