G 'Day Nagios Support,

I am finally at a point to upgrade Nagios XI and I wanted to get some feedback regarding the transition from 5.6.1 to 5.8.6

Will I be able to upgrade directly between these versions?

Please let me know and thanks,
Danny

Hi Danny,

Normally, but it does depend on the operating system, let us know what you are currently using. If you are using Cent 7, then you can directly go from 5.6.1 to the latest version.

Please take full backup and VM snapshot before proceeding or leverage your test server before upgrading the production. I recommend the manual upgrade:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi xi*.tar.gz
wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/xi-latest.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-latest.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade

Let us know if you need any assistance.
