How do you delete postgres from a Nagios server?

We have successfully moved over to mysql and now would like to completely remove the postgresql software from the server. Unfortunately this happens:
Code: Select all
$ rpm -ev postgresql-server-8.4.20-6.el6.x86_64
error: Failed dependencies:
postgresql-server is needed by (installed) nagiosxi-5-2.9.el6.x86_64
I have limited experience with rpm dependencies and how they can be undone. Any guidance?

Hi
@brandondash,
You do not need to go through the trouble of deleting Postgres; your system will work just fine without any issues.
You just need to disable it from starting up.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

There is a knowledge base article on converting older Nagioses with Postgres to just a Nagios with MySQL/Maria. If that's what you mean, look here:
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/c ... os-xi.html
I can vouch that it does work, but read it all through first to make sure you know what's coming up.
