Foglight for Databases 6.1.0 - Release Notes

Upgrade and compatibility

Upgrade and compatibility

Important:

  • 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.x, 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 6.1.x Upgrade Guide for information about upgrading Foglight and for a list of the latest cartridge versions that are compatible with Foglight Management Server 6.1.x.

Product licensing

Product licensing

Foglight includes a licensing capability that restricts access to those features that are defined in the license. All Management Server installations require a license that grants access to server-specific parts of the browser interface and the features associated with them. Foglight cartridges are also license-protected. While some cartridges are covered by the base Foglight license (such as Foglight Agent Manager cartridges and the Cartridge for Infrastructure), others may require an additional license.

To activate a trial or a purchased commercial license:

  1. On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, click Administration > Setup  > Manage Licenses.
  2. Click Install.
  3. In the Install License dialog box, click Browse.
