Oracle database users

A Management Server 5.9.x using an Oracle® database makes use of stored procedures in the Oracle database. When upgrading from a version earlier than 5.6.2 to version 5.6.2 or later, the procedures are created during the upgrade process. To allow the upgrade process to create the stored procedures, a DBA user must first assign the CREATE PROCEDURE privilege to the database user used by Foglight.

where <foglight> is the name of the database user used by the Foglight application

If the upgrade process is run without assigning the CREATE PROCEDURE privilege to the Oracle database user, the database upgrade will fail with the following error:

The Oracle database user has not been assigned the CREATE PROCEDURE privilege.

Once the CREATE PROCEDURE privilege is assigned to the database user, the database upgrade process can be run manually by invoking the foglight_db_upgrade script.

Database changes

This section provides a list of the database changes from Foglight 5.6.2 through Foglight 5.9.x.

For new Management Server 5.7.6 (and later) installations, the embedded MySQL® database was replaced with an embedded PostgreSQL® database. Upgrades to Foglight Management Servers 5.7.6 with an existing embedded MySQL database are not affected. The existing database is retained during the upgrade.

An upgrade from version 5.6.5 of the Management Server to version 5.6.7 changes the database in the following ways:

Sequence SEQ_O*

Altered cache size to 10000

Oracle®

An upgrade from version 5.6.4 of the Management Server to version 5.6.5 changes the database in the following ways:

Upgrade the Foglight Agent Manager

This section describes the procedure for upgrading the Foglight Agent Manager (FglAM). The latest version of the Agent Manager is 5.9.x.

Remote updates of the Agent Manager are deployed from the Management Server. Local access to Agent Manager clients is typically not required to perform an upgrade.
