Please help!
Where i can download nagios core 4.2.4 rpm for centos/rhel?
in repo only version 4.0.8

We are not the package maintainers for CentOS/RHEL. Our instructions for compiling from source are available at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Source.pdf (note you will need to change 4.2.0 to 4.2.4).

If you have previously installed from repos, you should backup your data, and then uninstall the rpm. If you try to compile over the top of the repo version, you will run into issues.

We are working to become maintainers, but this takes some time, especially considering all of the distros out there.

Can't give the approximate dates of implementation?(weeks, months,years)

This is what our hopeful package maintainer told me not quite two weeks ago.

im still just kind of waiting for something to happen

Judging by https://wiki.centos.org/How_Do_I_Become ... _developer there does not seem to be a clear path, but

Compiling from source is really not hard at all. The instructional video I recorded on CentOS is about 5 minutes long (or course, that's not compiling the plugins and the configuration). https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=96 walks you through compiling both Nagios Core and the plugins. I understand that some environments do not allow compiling from source. That's why we're working on it.
