Upgrade Foglight for Infrastructure

The latest version of Foglight for Infrastructure is 5.9.8.

As part of the transition to Quest Software, Foglight for Infrastructure 5.8.5.8 and higher deprecate the following agent types:

•
DellUnixAgent: Replaced with the new UnixAgentPlus agent type.
•
DellFileLogMonitorAgent: Replaced with the new FileLogMonitorAgent agent type.
•

The specific agent types listed above are being deprecated in order to comply with rebranding requirements.

Previously created instances of deprecated agent types will continue to run, however, you will only be able to deploy new instances of the replacement agent type.

As of 5.8.5.8, migrating deprecated agent types to the new agent types is not required. An option to migrate deprecated agent instances to the new agent types is available, but hidden. Contact Quest Support for instructions on how to migrate your agents.

Foglight for Infrastructure version 5.9.8 requires Management Server version 5.9.2 or later and Foglight Agent Manager 5.8.0 or later.
