Foglight for Microsoft DOT NET 5.9.12 - Installation and Configuration Guide

Installing and Configuring Foglight for Microsoft .NET Managing .NET Agent Configurations

Upgrading .NET agents

Upgrading .NET agents

The Foglight Upgrade Guide provides full instructions for upgrading to the latest version of the cartridge and agents. Read Upgrade Foglight for Microsoft .NET in the Upgrading the Application Monitoring Cartridges section for details.

Depending on the version you are upgrading from, you may also need to upgrade the Nexus. See the Foglight Upgrade Guide for details.

Configuration migration during upgrades

If you have modified the configuration files and you upgrade to a minor version (for example from x.y.z to x.y.z+1), your modified files are preserved. The default contents of the configuration files from the new version are overwritten with your changes.

For example, you have version 5.9.3.2 currently installed and you have modified the Nexus recording.config and the .NET agent instrumentation.config. Upgrading to version 5.9.4 would overwrite the default contents of the 5.9.4 versions of those files with your file contents from 5.9.3.2. All other 5.9.4 configuration files are unchanged, and contain the default contents installed by the 5.9.4 cartridge.

 
* 
NOTE: Configuration files managed through the Advanced dashboards (for example, nexus/aggregation.config) are not automatically migrated. If you have changed these files, they must be migrated manually, with the assistance of Customer Support where necessary.

In addition, the nexus/compatible-builds.config file is never automatically migrated. If you have any patch build IDs, these must be manually added to the new version’s compatible-builds.config with the assistance of Customer Support.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: No automatic migration occurs during an upgrade to the next major version (for example, from 5.9.x to 5.10.x).
