I'm on a very old version 5.10 because I was still restricted to centos 7. What is the correct upgrade path? I'm on oracle 9 now. Do I install the latest version and restore backup or should I do an incremental upgrade and work my way up to the latest version? I was told there may be php problems if I load my 5.10 backup onto the latest version.

When restoring nagios it has to be done to the same version that was backed up.
Don't quote me but I think you may want to look into what the oldest nagios version is supported by your oracle 9. If 5.10 is supported there's no need for the following step.
If needed upgrade the nagios to that version.
Back up nagios.
Install that version on oracle 9.
Restore the backup on oracle 9.
Run the restore repair script mentioned in the backup/restore guide.
Upgrade nagios on oracle 9 to the current version.
