Hi Team,
We are planning to upgrade OS version of nagios servers from centos 7.8 to 8.2
Could you please update us if any challenges with CentOS 8.2 for Nagios xi 5.6.14 version application.
Thanks

Re: Nagios xi CentOS Support 8.2`
You would need to upgrade to xi 5.7+ first (go to xi 5.7.4 if you do) to support RHEL/CENT/ORACLE 8 as support wasn't implemented for EL8 until then:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ctions.pdf
Personally, I would probably stay on EL7 latest for compatibility reasons, I do know that the VMWare perl SDK and the Dell EMC plugins have issues with EL8 (the respective vendors need to update them to support it). There are likely other 3rd party plugins that haven't been updated to support it yet as well.
I would spin up a test server and see if you run into issues, your xi license allows you a test/backup server:
https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=145
Let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Trying other mirror.
One of the configured repositories failed (Nagios),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=nagios-base ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable nagios-base
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=nagios-base
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=nagios-base.skip_if_unavailable=true

Re: Nagios xi CentOS Support 8.2`
Edit your /etc/yum.repos.d file for the nagios repo, change all the URLs from http to https and try again.
You'll also need to add --no-check-certificate onto your wget commands if it's failing to validate the certificate.
What do these output?
I can only assume you have a web gateway or proxy that's interfering with it as as the cert from the output doesn't match what is actually on the site so it's likely something on your end is redirecting to it:
