Reverted to core 4.2 - can I go back to 4.4

Since I run mod_gearman I followed the Nagios provided path to get that working for my setup.

But I did it on all 3 servers. I would like to reverse that on one of my servers.

Is there a simple path to do that? Otherwise I have to remove lots of things and install clean.

Please advise as to the best path, the cleanest. I want my setup to look like a clean 5.5.8 install before I go to 5.5.9

Suggestions anyone?

I ask this because I used to use the uninstall script on the older Nagios XI versions. I do not see one for the 5.5.

Is uninstall as easy as deleting some dirs, removing some rpms?

Thanks

Steve B

@SteveBeauchemin, If you want a clean install you should probably format the OS and reinstall XI on a clean system.
When you upgrade XI to 5.5.9 the Core should get upgraded automatically.
Otherwise, you can download the XI 5.5.8 tarball from here:
https://www.nagios.com/downloads/nagios ... -releases/
cd /tmp/
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 5.8.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-5.5.8.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi/subcompoents/nagioscore/
./upgrade
This should upgrade Core version on to 4.4 on XI 5.5.8.

Before you do this please make a snapshot of the VM or backup the XI:
