I am trying to yum update my XI server running on Red Hat 8 and I am getting errors. I am using this document from their site. https://repo.nagios.com/?repo=rpm-rhel

I checked my repo list and it has what is needed. Any help is appreciated!

I think that there is a chance it was installed via a source install. Could you please send me a System profile for me to confirm your install type.

Figured this out. Patching went fine, did not need an upgrade of XI.

Apparently there were older packages left behind and that was giving some audit violations. All cleared up!

Ok, I am glad everything is resolved.

Double-check the repository configuration to ensure it's correctly set up for Nagios XI updates. Make sure that the repository URLs are accurate and that there are no typos.

It looks like your Nagios XI repos are installed, but the actual nagiosxi package isn’t present in the repo metadata for your system—only the dependencies package (nagiosxi-deps-el8). Nagios XI itself isn’t updated through yum update nagiosxi; you must download and run the full installer/upgrade script from the Nagios XI website. Check that your XI license portal provides the latest full upgrade package, then run the upgrade script manually instead of using yum.
