Foglight appliance upgrade issues

The latest version of the Foglight Virtual Appliance is 7.1.0. It is compatible with Foglight 7.3.0.

Best practices

This section guides you through the best practices for upgrading Foglight.

A typical Foglight installation includes at least one Foglight Management Server, at least one Foglight database, a number of Foglight cartridges installed on the server, a number of Foglight Agent Manager installs, and a number of agents. There may also be customizations to the server in the form of custom cartridges.

A new version of Foglight delivers new features to the market and addresses software defects. Customers may choose to upgrade whenever a new version is released, but we neither require nor expect individual customers to take every new version. You should determine which, if any, components you will upgrade based on:

•
The features and defect fixes for each component, listed in the release notes for the component;
•
The upgrade difficulty notes for each component, provided below. The notes describe the amount of effort and the complexities, if any, that an upgrade of a given component entails.

To assist you in the upgrade decision making process, we provide the upgrade information in a number of ways.

First we describe how the components have changed for the release and the level of difficulty of upgrading each. Then we describe common use cases and explain the components that need to be upgraded in each scenario. Finally, we provide a table that outlines the compatibility of all updated components with older versions of the various components.
