Hello, @rtsupport. Are you planning on doing backup-restore and then upgrading the XI to the latest version?
Anyway, it seems like you already had the nrpe installed on that system and that version conflicts with the stock nagios packages.
So if that's the case here's the instruction on how to uninstall the nrpe:
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... e-741.html

You can also try:

Code: Select all

yum remove nrpe-3.2.0-6.el7.x86

@rtsupport, You know you could just spin up the latest version of XI on a new clean system and then import the configs from your old XI.

But, going back to your problem:

Code: Select all

Connecting to localhost (localhost)|127.0.0.1|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
2018-05-18 09:15:13 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

Are you able to:

Code: Select all

curl 127.0.0.1 -v

Please go to the following folder:

Code: Select all

/etc/httpd/conf.d

And share:

Code: Select all

nagios.conf
nagiosql.conf
ssl.conf
nagiosxi.conf

You can either pull these files with FileZilla or WinSCP, or you can simply cat them, copy into a text file and upload in the ticket.

Also, please send the output of:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/hosts

@rtsupport, You know you could just spin up the latest version of XI on a new clean system and then import the configs from your old XI.

is it ? as i know we have to install the existing version of Nagios XI on new VM > take a config backup from running Nagios XI > restore to newly same version installed Nagios XI > upgrade it to the latest version.

Because, Currently we have Nagios installed on Linux 6.9 ( Nagios XI 2014R2.7 ) which we have to upgrade on RHEL 7.4 ( Latest one ) so what would be the best practice for it?

coming to current installation issue...

## 1. Are you able to: ??

Yes, able to connect with local host.. have attached output for your reference..

## 2. Please go to the following folder: And share:

Have shared all files to you PM..

## 3. Also, please send the output of: cat /etc/hosts

Have posted to your PM

@rtsupport, Since you're planning on switching the Operating System, you could either:

a) do a backup - restore. Install the same version of XI on RHEL 7.4, then restore from a backup and then upgrade the XI to the latest.

b) Install the latest version of XI on RHEL 7.4, then copy the cfg files from the old XI server to the new one and simply import configs in the following order:

Plan B is definitely easier, but you will have to recreate users in XI GUI, reenable mail settings, and the historical performance data will not get carried over from the old XI.

If you go with the Plan A please do not enable firewall, proxy or install any other security enhancements on the new OS until you finish installing and restoring XI. This will make the process way easier.

[rtsupport]

we would like to go with Plan A as prefdata is important for team whom servers we are monitoring..

have restart the servers but still getting same error..

please suggest what could be the issue...

[npolovenko]

@rtsupport, Possibly some misconfiguration in the apache settings or could also be a proxy issue.

Please upload the following files:

Code: Select all

/etc/httpd/conf.d/nagios.conf
 /etc/httpd/conf.d/nagiosxi.conf

It may be easier to do a backup - restore, and then updating Nagios on a new server.
