Hi,
For some internal reasons that are not relevant anymore, Nagvis was downgraded from 1.9.8 to 1.5.9.
I'd like to update it back to 1.9.8.
Will I be fine running the upgrade script or will I have an issue ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

You should be able to remove the old version of NagVis by going to
Admin > Manage Components, and clicking on the "Delete" button. Then, you could rerun the upgrade script with the "-f" flag, which will force reinstalling all of the addons (including NagVis):
Important: Prior to removing the old NagVis and installing the "new" version, make backups of all NagVis configs, custom maps, whatnot. Backup Nagios XI, so that you could restore from the backup if things don't go as planned. If this is a VM, you can create a snapshot as well (just in case).
Here's our documentation on backing up and restoring Nagios XI:

Hope this helps.

I'll make sure to backup everything, XI is indeed on a VM so I'll make sure to create a snapshot.
Are yout talking about running the nagios upgrade script ? (Not sure where it is btw, it's not in /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/.
Because I was actually thinking about running the nagvis upgrade script (/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagvis/upgrade.sh).
Do you think that'll work ?

No, I was talking about the "upgrade" script inside the original nagiosxi install directory. If you no longer have it, you could do:
Code: Select all
cd /tmp
rm -rf xi* nagiosxi*
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.5.7.tar.gz
tar xvf xi-5.5.7.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade -f
