Hello,
I am running into an issue trying to update my RHEL 6 install which has Nagios running on it. I am fully subscribed to Red Hat for updates. It looks like I am missing a repository which I suspect is related to Nagios (as I do not have this issue anywhere else).I have attached the relevant error messages in the update attempt. Please assist by identifying what I need to do to successfully update this server.. Thanks!

@dancormack, It's likely the rhel-6-server-optional-rpms.
Code: Select all
subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
yum can be configured to try to resolve such errors by temporarily enabling disabled repos and searching for missing dependencies. To enable this functionality please set 'notify_only=0' in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/search-disabled-repos.conf
I haven't tried it but maybe worth giving a shot. If you follow this instruction run these two commands after you modify the config.

@npolovenko,
Adding the optional rpms repo did the trick. Thank you for your help! This issue has been resolved.
