Nagios Support Forum

Good afternoon. Trying to install Nagios XI in an offline environment. Currently we have RHEL 8.10 and we have access to the repositories required, however, we do not use the internal Subscription Manager from RedHat. When installing, the install bombs at the subscription manager check. Is there any way to bypass that check and continue the install?

The message we get is below...

THIS IS A NEW INSTALL!

INSTALLING:
full=2024R1.3.1
major=2024R1
minor=3.1
releasedate=2024-11-12
release=60301

Configuring Repos...
This system has no repositories available through subscriptions.

Any Help would be appreciated!

Thanks for reaching out,

Using the offline tarball from 2024R1.3.2 found here, you shouldn't need access to any external repositories. This is basically the RPM install but with all dependencies and all versions of the dependencies packaged with it.

Otherwise you'll probably have to make some modifications to the install scripts that are inside the tarball. If you want you can open a support ticket and see if they'll help guide you through the process. It will probably involve adding --disableplugin=subscription-manager to any instances where yum or dnf is called.

Hi all,

I was curious about the subscription-manager, so I tried the new offline install on a VM where the subscription-manager had not been updated recently and the network was disabled. Before starting, the status of the subscription-manager was Disabled.

Started the install using the offline install 2024R1.3.2 (previously downloaded) ...
The install started a little slow, but did finished successfully.
