Before upgrading Foglight for SNMP to version 5.9.5, ensure that the BindUpTimeToHostBootTime rule was not modified on your environment. After upgrading to version 5.9.5, you must disable the GenericSNMPService cartridge and then re-enable it (or restart the Management Server), so that the rule change takes effect.
To upgrade Foglight for SNMP to the latest version:

•
Select any GenericSNMPAgent type agent and any GenericSNMPTrapAgent type agent and click Upgrade.
•
Click Deploy Agent Package and deploy both GenericeSNMPAgent and GenericSNMPTrapAgent packages to the targeted Foglight Agent Manager host.
3
Disable the GenericSNMPService cartridge and then re-enable it (or restart the Management Server), so that the rule changes takes effect.
