Update Icinga server from RHEL7 to RHEL8

Icinga 2
1

Hello everyone!

We have Icinga servers running in RHEL7 and we’re planning to upgrade them to RHEL8.

Which is the right way to do it? Perform a clean installation of Icinga2 in a blank RHEL8 server or upgrade the RHEL7 using leapp utility?

Thanks in advance.

  • do you use the centos icinga packages or do you have a icinga subscription?
  • which icinga2 version is currently in place?
  • is it a single node or HA-installation?

I ended up doing was using leapp. It was the one that gave me the least trouble when it came to synchronizing the zones.
