Updating offline version of Nagios xi through web UI

Post by UTE-COT »

Hi, how are you?

After originally installing Nagios xi with the offline method (version 5.6.14) I could set up my proxy and now the web UI prompts me to update to the latest version (5.7.2).

I would like to know if it is possible and safe to update my Nagios xi which was installed using the offline method, using the web UI.

If so, will I lose the ability to install future Nagios xi updates with the offline method ? Just in case I ever lose internet access from that VM.

Thanks in advance!

Bruno

It is not possible to update an offline install through the GUI

Ok, I see. Thanks for your reply.

I proceeded to follow the steps on the guide but now I'm having the following error:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
Could you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

I believe I found the problem

navigate to the RPM directory and run the following

Code: Select all

yum -y --nogpgcheck localinstall nagiosxi-shellinabox*.rpm nagiosxi-nxti*.rpm perl-Nagios-Monitoring-Plugin*.rpm
Then run

Code: Select all

./upgrade
or you can re-download the offline RPM tarball with the updates

Ok, it looks like you already have them,

Lets just run the following from with the RPM install directory

Code: Select all

yum -y --nogpgcheck localupdate *.rpm

Great! The installation completed succesfully with that last command!

What was the issue I was having?

I also got many warnings during the cleanup step. All of them were basically like these:
warning: file /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils/upgrade: remove failed: No such file or directory
warning: file /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils/post-upgrade: remove failed: No such file or directory
warning: file /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils/post-install: remove failed: No such file or directory

warning: file /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils/ndoutils-2.1.3/startup/upstart-init.in: remove failed: No such file or directory
warning: file /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils/ndoutils-2.1.3/startup/upstart-init: remove failed: No such file or directory
warning: file /tmp/nagiosxi/subcomponents/ndoutils/ndoutils-2.1.3/startup/tmpfile.conf.in: remove failed: No such file or directory
I guess I shouldn't worry about them, right?

Thanks in advance!

These errors aren't anything to worry about.

I believe there is a bug in the ./upgrade script that comes packaged in the offline install package, I'm sending details over to the developers to adjust the script
