Nagios xi - Notifications Not Sending In xi 5.3.0

Problem Description

After upgrading to Nagios xi 5.3.0 you no longer receive any notifications.

The initial release of Nagios xi 5.3.0 had an incorrect file that is the source of the problem.

To resolve the issue, download the updated 5.3.0 release and perform a manual upgrade. Notifications will work once re-applying the upgrade.

cd /tmp
rm -rf xi-*.tar.gz nagiosxi
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.3.0.tar.gz
tar xf xi-5.3.0.tar.gz
cp nagiosxi/nagiosxi/basedir/html/includes/utils-events.inc.php /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/
