Upgrade and compatibility
Important:
- Upgrade to version 7.1.5 directly is supported from version 6.1.0 or 6.3.0. To upgrade from earlier versions, follow the path to first upgrade to one of the supported platforms.
- Review Foglight for Databases Relase Notes and Foglight for Evolve Relase Notes for upgrade considerations if you are using these installers.
- To upgrade from a 5.5.x Management Server to 5.7.1 or later, you must first upgrade to 5.6.2 (or a more recent 5.6.x version), and then to 5.7.1 or later.
- To upgrade from a 5.6.11 Management Server to 5.7.5.x, you must first upgrade to 5.7.1, and then to 5.7.5.x.
- To upgrade from a 5.7.5.x Management Server to 6.1.0, you must first upgrade to 5.7.5.8, and then to 6.1.x.
- Foglight Management Server (5.7.0 to 5.7.5.8) no longer supports authentication of Federation actions (such as clearing alarms) without specifying a secure token in the federation.config file. Previously configured installations in which Federated Master and Children were authenticated without a security token no longer allow authenticated actions. For more information, see the Federation Field Guide.
- In the 5.9.x release, configuration of SecurityToken in the federation.config file (adopted from Foglight 5.7.0 to 5.7.5.8) was removed. Therefore, configuring an SSL for Federation is required when you upgrade the Federation environment to release 6.1.x from a release prior to 5.9.x, if your Federation environment configures SecurityToken before. For more information, see the Federation Field Guide.
See the Foglight 7.1.x Upgrade Guide for information about upgrading Foglight and for a list of the latest cartridge versions that are compatible with Foglight Management Server 7.1.x.
