Nagios Support Forum

I am wondering if you have any recommandation on upgrading nagios XI setup which has MySQL offloaded to another nagios xi VM (With other services disabled)?

I also have mod_gearman agent machines (originally built with XI VMs and disabled all services). What is best way to upgrade these servers when we upgrade XI? every machine is VM in out setup.

Thanks
Ashish

I would upgrade your main VM (which will also make any MySQL mods automatically)

If you have no intention of turning on the nagios services on the other machine you shouldn't need to do an upgrade as the upgrade will not do anything to mod_gearnam or mysql

Thanks Scott,

I was wondering if XI upgrades libs which are used by plug-ins or the plug-ins itself, how should mod_gearman_worker machine updated in this case.

Also, for MySQL machine (offloaded to different machine), would it be able to make all the changes from Nagios XI machine itself? For example upgrade DB or cron job etc..?

Thanks again for your help in this matter.

You could run the upgrade on the other machines, however the core plugins don't change that often. I worry about running the script will start all of the services back up and could cause errors

Yes, the XI machine can and will make all changes necessary.

Okay. Thank you. I will upgrade this machine and manually stop all services as well remove from auto start.
