Nagios xi server OS patching issue

Post by kbauma01 »

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!
