I checked it on Solaris 10 x86 and everything was fine with Nagios and Perl 5.10. Are you using Sparc?

Meanwhile I'll try to build a new package with the current Nagios version. It might take some time.

After we updated all packages with the pkg-get -u command, Nagios started failing on our Solaris 10x86-64 platform. We then tried it on a SPARC Solaris 10 machine, but the behavior was the same. When we downgraded Perl Nagios started working again. Thanks.

Please check the Nagios package in experimental:

http://mirror.opencsw.org/experimental.html#ja [^]

Be aware, that the config files moved to /etc/opt/csw/nagios - take a lookt at
http://wiki.opencsw.org/nagios [^]
for further instructions. You need to move your configs manually and change the path names in your config files to the new location.

Just confirmed that the 3.2.1 package in experimental fixes the incompatibility with the new perl 5.10 on Solaris 10 SPARC.

Ok, Jürgen, would you please rebuild the Nagios packages to depend on pm_rrd and put it in /home/experimental/rrdtool so we can release everything at once?

What's the status on this? Are we going to see a recent Nagios version in the stable branch soon? We've been running 3.2.1 from the (then) experimental build, for almost a year now without any problems. However, updating the other Opencsw packages has become almost impossible, as the system tries to downgrade nagios as it upgrades the other packages... :)

Nagios 3.2.3 is published in the unstable branch. It was built against perl 5.10 and there should no problem with crashing.

When installing the new package, please follow the messages and the end of the install process. The config files will be moved to a new location, so please make a backup before you upgrade.
