To upgrade Foglight Change Analyzer to the latest version:

1. Download the following packages from Quest Support Portal:
   • Foglight for VMware version 5.8.3 (which includes the vUsage-Feedback-5_8_3.car, DRP-5_8_3.car, Virtual-VMware-5_8_3.car, and Virtual-VMware-Admin-5_8_3.car cartridge files)

   3. OptimizerAutomation-5_8_3.car
   4. CommonAnalytics-5_8_3.car
