Nagios Support Forum

Redhat 9 server, upgraded nagiosxi 2024R2.2.1 -> 2026R1.4. After that what im seeing is that local backups take twice the size, even thou nothing other changed than the nagiosxi version, local backups take now 20GB from 9.6GB. Is that normal behavior?

Also the same server and one other redhat 9 nagiosxi 2026R1.4 server (with only 6hosts on it) have in /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log non-stop following lines coming in:

Any idea whats that about?

Hello @elinagios!

This seems very similar to something else I've seen more recently, just out of curiosity, do you still have the upgrade.log from when you upgraded this XI? That would be helpful for me to see if this is related to another issue we saw come up.

Thank you!
Ben

The googlemapdashlet is obsolete and that is causing the errors.

Run this as root to get rid of it.

mv /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/dashlets/googlemapdashlet /root

Then re-run the XI upgrade.

Sadly the /usr/local/nagiosxi/tmp/upgrade.log is empty
And what is intresting is that few days after the upgrade and the backups beeing 2x size, now few last days, the backup sizes are back to normal. No major changes done, maybe some service/host changes but thats regular stuff.


mv /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/dashlets/googlemapdashlet /root
Then re-run the XI upgrade.
Is this something that is needed to be done at this point or this is just creating those errors in the php-error log and can be ignored and fixed when next nagiosxi release, 2026R1.4.1 or similar comes out and i upgrade to it?

Hello @elinagios,

Once you move the dashlet, it won't be there to cause the problem if that is indeed the problem, so the upgrade should work.

Yes, but if its only generating errors in the php error log, then its not really an issue why rerun entire upgrade process. Wanted to know if it could cause any other issues that would demand rerunning the upgrade now.
