Nagios xi - Redhat 6

Post by jcmanous »

Are there any known issues installing Nagios xi on RHEL 6? I'm getting numerous issues running the install scripts that I didn't get under RHEL5.

This is a 64bit install running the Manual install 2011R1.3

Many thanks.

Yes. There are a few things that you need to do differently that aren't properly documented yet. Here's what seems to work:
Skip running 0-yum.
Install the *EL6* version of EPEL.
Don't do anything for RPMForge (so far).
Manually touch installed.yum to simulate running that script.
Run the rest of fullinstall as usual.
yum install rrdtool-perl (this is the only dependency I've found so far
that's different).
Set the PHP timezone.
Proceed as usual.
