*

Upgrade Foglight for Java EE Technologies from version 5.9.x to version 5.9.11

To upgrade Foglight for Java EE Technologies to the latest version:
1
Install the 5.9.12 cartridge (ApplicationServers-Java-5_9_12.car) as you would a new cartridge. Do not delete or uninstall the previous version. For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight cartridges” in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
 
* 
NOTE: As the new version of the cartridge is installed, all Nexuses are automatically upgraded to the new version. While this happens, agents disconnect briefly and then reconnect once the new version of Nexus is restarted.

3
Upgrade the Java Agent Installations.
a
On the Application Servers Administration dashboard, click Java Administration.
b

c
Click the name of the host of the Java Agent that you want to upgrade and, in the menu that opens, click Upgrade.
d

e
A task is added to the Task History list at the bottom of the view. Check the Result column for information on the upgrade process and its status.
f
Once the Upgrade task is successful, you must restart your application servers. This can be done at your convenience.
Nexus agent upgrade:
•
If your Nexus agents are running, they are upgraded automatically when you install the cartridge.
•
If your Nexus agents are not running, you must upgrade them manually from the Application Servers Administration dashboard before allowing any agents to connect to the Nexus.

Configuration migration during upgrades

If you have modified the configuration files and you perform a minor version upgrade (for example from x.y.z to x.y.z+1), your modified files are preserved. The default contents of the configuration files from the new version are overwritten with your changes.

For example, you have version 5.9.3.2 currently installed and you have modified the Nexus recording.config and the APM agent instrumentation.config. Upgrading to version 5.9.11 would overwrite the default contents of the 5.9.11 versions of those files with your file contents from 5.9.3.2. All other 5.9.11 configuration files are unchanged, and contain the default contents installed by the 5.9.11 cartridge.

 
* 
NOTE: Configuration files managed through the Advanced dashboards (for example, nexus/aggregation.config or agent/java/collector/jboss.config) are not automatically migrated. If you have made any modifications to these files, they must be migrated manually, with the assistance of Customer Support where necessary.
In addition, the nexus/compatible-builds.config file is never automatically migrated. If you have any patch build IDs, these must be manually added to the new version’s compatible-builds.config with the assistance of Customer Support.
