Wow, that answer just made my decision to not purchase Nagios.scottwilkerson wrote:If you are going to start totally fresh, it would be best to re-install the OS to a clean minimal install then follow the manual install instructions.

We do have an uninstall script but it hasn't been updated lately and to be honest, I am not sure how well it works. There is not much interest in uninstalling nagios, so we put our priorities on different projects. Here is the document you need:Important: Nagios Enterprises highly recommends and will only support installing Nagios XI on a newly installed, "clean" system. Attempting to install Nagios XI on a pre-existing system with other applications already installed can cause the Nagios XI installation process to fail, critical system components and settings (e.g. database servers) to be modified in a way that negatively affects other applications, and previously installed applications to be automatically upgraded or removed. While installing XI on a system with other applications is possible, it is not recommended due to the possible interactions and complexity of multiple components that are required for Nagios XI to function. If you choose to ignore these warnings, you do so at your own risk.
