Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
directives and data defintions. If you are upgrading from a previous
version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
may have been removed or modified in this version. Make sure to read
the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.

I cannot guarantee that the R2014 installers work, as a matter of fact I am almost certain they do not.

I would strongly suggest going to 5.4.13 as it also has fixed for known security vulnerabilities.

ryan.low wrote:Agreed. We are target to upgrade to 5.4.13. But during the upgrade process, NagiosXI need to upgrade version by version. from R2012 to R2014 then V5.x the latest. The upgrade process stops at R2014.

Thanks.
