Not quiet sure how to update icinga2

Icinga 2
1

Hello everyone!

I’ve read the news stating to update icinga2 due to security issues. As I’m very new to monitoring and Linux in general I would like to know what I need to update on my master (Ubuntu) and agents (Ubuntu and Windows).

I’ve read the documentation and the troubleshooting section but I still don’t understand if I only need to run these commands for my Linux master and agents:

sudo apt-get update
sudp apt-get upgrade

and this command for Windows agents:

Update-Icinga;

Is this it? Or is there something else I’m missing out? And what about EOL distributions? How does it work there?

Any help would be appreciated!

Reading Icinga 2 Security Pre-Announcement should help a lot.

But if you have the icinga repository activated then reloading and updating should do the trick.

Thanks for using Icinga and asking your question.

For the Ubuntu part, the apt-get upgrade should be enough if you are using Icinga’s repository. To make sure, verify the icinga2 --version afterwards.

For Icinga on Windows, the Update-Icinga command should do the trick.

To verify that all your Icinga 2 installations are running the latest version, you could utilize the icinga Check Command with icinga_min_version set to 2.14.3.
