Subject: [Nagios-users] Required RPMs for Nagios 2.5

Hi,

We are running Nagios 2.5 on Linux x86. We would like to get a list 
of RPMs required for Nagios if there are any. We are trying to get 
this information in preparation for the Linux up2date patching, in 
order to evaluate if the up2date patching would possibly impact the 
Nagios. Does anyone know if there are any required RPMs?

Thanks,
Karen

Hi

Not knowing exactly what distribution you are talking about (I assume
RHEL3 or 4, since 4 is the last one to use up2date), you can likely run 

rpm -qa | grep nag |sort

to get a sorted list of the RPMS you currently have related to nagios
(not counting whatever custom stuff  you do?), and go from there. 

As it is (to the best of my knowledge?) you must add 3rd party repos to
RHEL5 to get the nagios RPMs, however it's been awhile so I  may be
wrong.

As always, update -u  of *all* packages could be problematic if it bombs
in the middle, (compared to yum anyhow), so I understand your
hesitation, but from my knowledge, I would think a  large up2date -u
would not impact your current nagios, if that is the kind of answer you
are looking for... (again, any dependencies would depend on your
checks/environment, as always)... 

Hth, Cheers
