I see the post below on how to fix this but any file I pull in from the Nagios Repositories does not have the nagiosxi.sudoers file in it.

This problem is occurring because the required sudoers entries are missing.

The following steps shows you how to get the correct sudoers entries from the XI installation file. It is not possible to provide all the entries in this KB article as they may change in newer versions of XI. These steps ensure you get the correct entries for your version of Nagios XI.

First you must download the XI installation file to your Nagios XI server. You'll do this with the WGET command. Please refer to the following link to get the correct download link for your version of Nagios XI:

Download Page - Nagios XI Versions

Open an ssh session to your Nagios XI host.

Execute the following commands (use your XI version download link in the wget command):


Once downloaded you'll need to use the name of the downloaded file in the next command, in this example xi-5.6.3.tar.gz is the name being used:
This will have extracted a file called nagiosxi.sudoers and this file contains all the correct entries.

Run all these commands to fix your /etc/sudoers file to make sure it has all the correct entries:
After making these changes try and download the system profile, your problem should be resolved.

Is there a question here or is this just for information purposes?

The question is how to fix the issue without using the wget tar files. I am using the offline tar files and the file nagiosxi.sudoers is not in it. Is there another way to fix this issue or another way to get the nagiosxi.sudoers file?

You can still download the file manually (not through wget), extract the tarball, and the file will be found in
