If it is indicated that a Management Server upgrade is not required, please ensure that your current Management Server version is compatible. The matrix above only covers potential upgrades from the previous version of Foglight.


The matrix below outlines the compatibility of the latest cartridges and core components with earlier versions of the Management Server and with the current Management Server. This matrix will assist you in determining whether you need to upgrade your Management Server, if you are presently running an older version.

Prepare for an upgrade

Preparing for a Foglight upgrade is straightforward, but may be time-consuming. Before upgrading you should:

1
Create a support bundle from your Management Server. For information on how to do this, see the “Managing Support Bundles” section in Foglight Administration and Configuration Guide.
2
If you are upgrading the Management Server, back up the file system in which Foglight is installed. For information on how to do this, see the “Backing up Foglight” section in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.
3
If you are upgrading the Management Server, back up your database. For information on how to do this, see the “Backing up Foglight” section in the Foglight Administration and Configuration Help.

Upgrade order

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Consult the sections above to decide which components, if any, you will be upgrading.

Foglight components should be upgraded in the following order:

1
Some cartridges must be upgraded prior to upgrading the Management Server. For more information, see Components compatibility.
2
Management Server, if necessary
3
Cartridges, if necessary
4
Agent Manager, if necessary
5
New agents, if necessary

Step 2 may require some time, because agents may need time to reconnect.

In some cases, a successful step 2 may require one or more cartridge upgrades. Where special instructions are required, they are documented in this guide.

Only perform steps 4 and 5 after the system has stabilized.

Where to find upgrade information
