Update Nagios XI on CentOS 8 Stream?

Hello

When updating Nagios XI on CentOS 8 Stream, a EoL message shows.

That being said:

https://nagiosenterprises.my.site.com/s ... d-versions

RHEL 8 is supported still; CentOS 8 is completely unsupported then? We were able to update our Nagios XI to Nagios XI 2024R1.1.5 but I see there is a note in the changelogs for 2024R1.2 - 08/13/2024 - "Deprecated Debian 10, CentOS Stream 8, and EL7 [GL:XI!980] – GW"

I know CentOS 8 Stream is EoL but is this the reason for Nagios XI being upsupported?

Thanks

Hi @riahc3,

There are a couple of meanings to the word "support". In this one sense, Nagios XI does not now support installation or upgrade on CentOS Stream 8, which on a very practical level means we removed the code in the install and upgrade scripts that allows installation on that operating system. Because CentOS Stream 8 is EoL, from a development perspective we can't reliably test installation, upgrades, or feature functionality.
