Upgrade Foglight for Infrastructure

The latest version of Foglight for Infrastructure is 5.9.5.

As part of the transition to Quest Software, Foglight for Infrastructure 5.8.5.8 and higher deprecate the following agent types:

DellUnixAgent: Replaced with the new UnixAgentPlus agent type.
DellFileLogMonitorAgent: Replaced with the new FileLogMonitorAgent agent type.
DellWindowsEventLogMonitorAgent: Replaced with the new WindowsEventLogMonitorAgent agent type.

The specific agent types listed above are being deprecated in order to comply with rebranding requirements. The deprecated agent types and their replacements are identical, with the exception of the agent type name. Previously created instances of deprecated agent types will continue to run, however, you will only be able to deploy new instances of the replacement agent type.

As of 5.8.5.8, migrating deprecated agent types to the new agent types is not required. An option to migrate deprecated agent instances to the new agent types is available, but hidden. Contact Quest Support for instructions on how to migrate your agents.

Foglight for Infrastructure version 5.9.4 requires Management Server version 5.9.4. Foglight Agent Manager 5.8.0 (or later) must be installed on all the hosts that you want to use for local or remote monitoring.

For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight Evolve cartridges” in the Foglight Evolve Administration and Configuration Help.

After the cartridge is installed, you must deploy the new HostAgents.gar agent package to each of your Agent Managers to update the agents. Do not deactivate the agents before deploying; they are updated automatically.
