Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Currently we are using NagiosXI 5.6.6 and want to upgrade to NagiosXI 5.7.5 version.
We are looking for below information:
1) NagiosXI 5.7.5 is supported on OS CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core).
2) Is it supported to directly upgrade to 5.7.5. from 5.6.6 version?
3) Any know issue of NagiosXI 5.7.5
4) Installation document which contain all details like installation step etc.

What version of CentOS are you running 5.6.6 on? It should be supported to upgrade in-place if you don't want to change the underlying distro.

If you also want to migrate CentOS releases, then the simplest solution is probably to install new and migrate the configuration to the new server.

If you want start from a fresh distro install, it's simplest to just install using our package repository. Then export the configuration from the old machine, and import them into the new one following these steps:

• Step 1: Exporting the Configuration Database
• Step 2: Using the Config Import Prep Tool
• Step 3: Importing Core Configuration Files Into Nagios XI

You could also deploy the appropriate OVA file from our VMWare image download page. OVA files come built on top of CentOS 7.

Currently Nagios 5.6.6 on CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core) and to upgrade the Nagios to 5.7.5 on same OS version. Is this supported.

Is it possible to directly upgrade from Nagios 5.6.6 to 5.7.5 version OR need to do upgradation in steps like xi-5.7.0 -- xi-5.7.5 etc.

Yes, this is supported. See Nagios XI Upgrade Instructions for a step-by-step.

If you installed Nagios XI using the package repository and you're currently connected to the internet, you can update Nagios XI by installing updates using yum.
