Upgrade the Foglight Experience Monitor appliance

The latest version of the Foglight Experience Monitor appliance is version 5.7.0.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Before you upgrade the Foglight Experience Monitor, create a full system backup. For information about how to create a full system backup of the Foglight Experience Monitor, see the “Backing up and restoring data” section of the Foglight Experience Monitor Installation and Administration Guide.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: As of release 5.5.4, the Foglight FxM Agent no longer resides on the Foglight Experience Monitor. When you upgrade the Foglight Experience Monitor from version 5.5.0 to 5.5.4, 5.5.5, 5.5.8, 5.6.2, 5.6.3, or 5.6.5, if you have the Cartridge for FxM version 5.5.2 or earlier installed on the Foglight Experience Monitor, it is automatically uninstalled.

In addition, upgrading the Foglight Experience Monitor removes any Foglight agents that are currently installed. To avoid lost data, you must upgrade the Foglight Experience Monitor, the Foglight Management Server, and the Cartridge for FxM to version 5.5.4 or later.

To upgrade Foglight Experience Monitor to the latest version, follow the instructions in the Foglight Experience Monitor Installation and Administration Guide.

The Foglight Experience Monitor Release Notes, which contain compatibility and other important information, are also available on our Support Portal.

Upgrade Foglight for Active Directory

The latest version of Foglight for Active Directory is 5.7.1. You can upgrade to version 5.7.1 of Foglight for Active Directory from any previous version.

Foglight for Active Directory 5.7.1 requires Management Server version 5.7.5.7 or later, or Foglight for Virtualization, Enterprise Edition 8.6 or later.

 
 
* 
NOTE: All original rules in each cartridge are reset when the cartridge is upgraded; therefore if you applied custom conditions to any original rules these modifications will be lost. It is recommended that when modifying rules you make a copy of the original, disable the original and enable the copy with the new condition. Use the Rules dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Rules & Notifications > Rules) to copy a rule.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Foglight for Active Directory 5.7.1 may require more memory be allocated to the main Agent Manager instance than was previously needed. For details, see the Foglight for Active Directory Release Notes.
To upgrade Foglight for Active Directory to the latest version:
1
Create and release the lockbox.
 
* 
NOTE: You can skip this step if upgrading Foglight for Active Directory from version 5.6.6 or later.
a
From the navigation panel, navigate to the Credentials > Manage Lockboxes dashboard.
b
Create a custom lockbox for the Active Directory® credential. In the New Lockbox dialog box, type ActiveDirectory as the lockbox name, and secure the lockbox by typing a password (optionally). If you choose to use the default lockbox (System), you can ignore this step.
c
In the Manage Lockboxes dashboard, release the lockbox for the newly create ActiveDirectory lockbox, by clicking the icon on its Release to Credentials Clients column. Enter the password for authorizing the operation, select the clients from the list, and click Release.
2
Deactivate all of the Active Directory agents.
3
Install version 5.7.1 of the cartridge as you would install a new Foglight for Active Directory. Do not delete the older version of the .car file. For cartridge installation instructions, refer to “Installing Foglight cartridges” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
4
Deploy the agent package to each Foglight Agent Manager that hosts an Active Directory agent instance and wait for the version to update.
 
* 
NOTE: This may take two to three refresh cycles.
5
From the navigation panel, navigate to Dashboards > Active Directory Environment > Administration tab. In the Agent Management view select the Active Directory agents that you want to upgrade, and click Upgrade Agent.
 
* 
NOTE: You can specify the lockbox when upgrading the agents. The credentials for the existing agents are updated automatically.
NOTE: You can skip this step if upgrading Foglight for Active Directory from version 5.6.6 or later.
6
Verify the agent properties and update the properties and collection intervals as required.
7
Activate the agents and start data collections.
 
* 
NOTE: For a list of issues that you may encounter after upgrading the Foglight for Active Directory to version 5.7.1, and ways to troubleshoot these issues, see the Foglight for Active Directory Release Notes.
 
* 
NOTE: If you are also running Foglight for Exchange, you must upgrade the Exchange agents as well. It is strongly recommended that you run the same version and patch level of both cartridges.
