Nagios Support Forum

I'm stucked in 5.7.5 version with CentOS 6 and I would migrate to CentOS 7.
I would not fresh install a CentOS and then install NagiosXI. I'd prefer to download OVA from Nagios site.
But from today the OVA comes with 5.8.0.

Could I have the previous OVA with 5.7.5 in order to simply restore my bk??

Regards,
Graziano.

Hi Graziano,
I asked this question a while back myself and got this answer. Hopefully this helps

They are available in URL's with the format like the following changing out the version number (replacing 5.7.4)

Fantastic!!! I'm surprised I did not think about it by himself !

It works.

The general process for migration (if you're doing a migration) is this:

Since you're using an OVA you don't need to do these top steps:

Spin up new EL7/EL8 system (I would choose EL7 for 3rd party plugin/utility compatibility at this point in time)

Install the exact version of XI on the new one that the old one has:

Backup the old, transfer to the new one, restore to it:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Follow the After the Restore section of the backup/restore guide completely

Run the restore_repair script from the backup/restore guide on the new one because you are changing OS versions

Shutdown or re-IP the old:

Re-IP the new one with the old (this prevents you from having to touch firewall rules/agent allowed from directives on the devices you're monitoring:

Additionally, please see here:

Then you can upgrade your new server to XI 5.8.

If you have any issues, send us any errors you are seeing.

Do you have the link to download 5.7.5 OVA with Centos 7? Thanks
