Nagios Support Forum

Hi guys,

I need to install Nagios xi into an airgapped network.

Server is running RHEL8.2 (64bit)

I copied up the xi-latest.tar.gz over SCP and unzipped.

The fullinstall script fails with "This system has no repositories available through subscriptions".

The server does not have the capability to talk to any repository on the internet, so official subscriptions cannot be used.
We use our own internal versions of the repositories which are vetted and have the minimal amount of RPMs needed to get the job done.

We can obviously modify the install script to not check for subscription repositories, just wanted to check if there are any pitfalls doing this?

And do Nagios maintain a list of RPMs we would need available in our own maintained repositories to get the job done?

Hi
The xi-latest.tar.gz file is used for systems with internet access so please don't use it.

Here's some documentation for an Offline Install and also information for the repos:

Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions/issues.

Thanks!

Okay,

I managed to get things installed.

Just wondering if there's any way to stop Nagios xi from calling home to check for updates, etc?

Hi

Glad you were able to get it installed.

I'll ask the development team if there is a way to stop Nagios xi from calling
home to check for updates, etc. Do you have an error message or log entry
that shows it trying to call home and failing that I could look at?

Thanks!

No, it's just that our security guys can see the server trying to send messages outside the network and they're not a fan of applications trying to do that.

HI

In the Admin > System Settings menu, I think unchecking the
"Automatically Check for Updates" option should stop it.

Let me know how it works out.

Thanks
