I was able to install nagios-4.4.6-4 on centos 7 fresh VM and be able to view localhost from http://localhost-ip/nagios after login as nagiosadmin/nagiosadmin.

@bodhi, This pkg still need to be fixed by adding nagios-plugins-ping as pkg dependency. too early to move into stable from testing.

I withdraw Concern 3. this show I am very outdated with rpm packaging stuff.

• Concern 3: /usr/lib/.build-id/* files should be excluded from .rpm.

rpm -ql nagios |grep build

<snipped>

4/usr/lib/.build-id/ea/56d09fef194bede4fdd1c7112e9a02fc5be97e 865/usr/lib/.build-id/f7 866/usr/lib/.build-id/f7/16224ac341fedfa6e160a53bf9b071c08f53dd 867/usr/lib/.build-id/fc 868/usr/lib/.build-id/fc/d38be1f815a5efa48dfa2879dfdfc261dae82d 869/usr/lib/.build-id/fe 870/usr/lib/.build-id/fe/3875c29db14d81a5422e6b03b104f03843006b 871[x220@ipa01 SPECS]$ rpm -ql nagios |grep build |wc 42 42 1779 [me@fedora33 SPECS]$

• On fedora 33. the upgrade of "-1" to "-3" was fine.
• Concern 1:

• Concern 2: nagios-plugins-ping rpm dependency for localhost was missed.

How long I need to wait until I can run following upgrade command on a fedora 33 ?

• sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2021-5689072a7e

Currently, this command is not pulling down the "*-3" pkg.

Hi @tartina Thanks for considering to add pkg dependency for default localhost monitoring. Following is the list of rpms I found.

nagios-plugins-ping nagios-plugins-load nagios-plugins-users nagios-plugins-http nagios-plugins-disk nagios-plugins-ssh nagios-plugins-swap nagios-plugins-procs

Thanks @tartina

sorry, I tested on fedora-33, not 34.

nagios-4.4.6 on fedora-34 is OK using my extra post-install notes above.

Following 3 steps to have a localhost entry to see localhost got monitor from http://localhost/nagios/ * yum install nagios-plugins-ping * mkdir /etc/nagios/conf.d && chgrp nagios /etc/nagios/conf.d * systemctl start nagios httpd

Here is my fresh install test notes

• on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)
• yum install nagios --enablerepo=epel-testing
• yum install -y nagios-plugins-load nagios-plugins-users nagios-plugins-http nagios-plugins-disk nagios-plugins-ssh nagios-plugins-swap nagios-plugins-procs --enablerepo=epel-testing
• testing existing default config files come with pkg.
