Upgrade use cases

The following are common upgrade use cases:

•
Scenario 1 — New release
•
Scenario 2 — New Management Server features or defect fixes
•
Scenario 3 — Agent Manager client-side feature dependency or defect fix

Scenario 1 — New release

You notice that there is a new version of Foglight and are wondering if you should upgrade. If you do not have a specific reason to upgrade, we recommend you stay on the version you are running now.

Scenario 2 — New Management Server features or defect fixes

A new release of Foglight typically delivers new features and defect fixes. See the Foglight Release Notes for information about new features and defect fixes. We recommend the Management Server upgrade to customers who want one or more of the features or defect fixes in a new release.

Customers who want to take advantage of new features and defect fixes can do so with a simple upgrade to the Management Server. This upgrade is expected to take 15 minutes or less. An upgrade to the server does not introduce any incompatibilities with earlier versions of other Foglight core components; therefore, with the Management Server 5.9.x upgrade, you should not have to upgrade any other components in your environment.
