Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

We have nagios core installed on our Linux machine.

We want to upgarde the same machine to nagios xi version.

We don't have a clean machine we have only this machine.

Please suggest what we need to do?

Thanks in advanced

I don't think this is going to be possible, as it depends on quite a few factors.

- How did you install Core?
- What version of Core?
- What OS / version is the machine running?

Based on these answers it might be though, so we'll see.

Hi,

Versions:
=======
nagios-4.0.1
nrpe 2.15
nagios-plugins-2.0.2

How did i install nagios core:
========================
with all this configure commands,(./configure ---) , make install , and so on

OS:
===
Linux machine Red-hat 6.7

I did some testing and it's not going to work. You will need to spin up a new machine for XI. Then follow our documents to prepare your configuration files, and then import them to XI.

A general guide -

Using the config import prep tool -

Then, you will need to import them into XI -

Hi,

If i will remove all the needed folders of nagios core installation it still will not work?

There are still other components at play. The requirements for XI, are a clean, unmodified system, so you'll need to follow this and setup a new machine.

Hi,

we dont have any clean machine. we have only onle linux machine unfortuntally

please send me some procedure how i need to remove all nagios commponets?

It's not possible for us to provide this, as we don't know how it was installed.

You'll have to blow away your existing Nagios server, install the OS from scratch and then install Nagios XI.

Ok.

my issue that i want to customize nagios core dashborad and as i understand it impossible on nagios core right?

It's not impossible, but it is not something we can support. It would require re-writing the web interface code.
