Upgrade Foglight for SQL Server

The latest version of Foglight for SQL Server is 5.7.5.41.

A direct upgrade to Foglight for SQL Server 5.7.x is only available from version 5.5.8 or later. Customers that are running earlier versions of the product must first upgrade to version 5.5.8 and then upgrade to version 5.7.x.

Foglight for SQL Server 5.7.5.41 requires Management Server version 5.7.0 (or later) and Agent Manager version 5.8.0 (or later).

For cartridge installation instructions, see the Foglight for Databases Deployment Guide.

Once you have upgraded the cartridge, to deploy the agent package, navigate to the Global View dashboard and follow the upgrade wizard instructions. For a procedure describing how to deploy the agent package, see the Foglight for SQL Server User Guide.

Upgrade Foglight for Sybase

The latest version of Foglight for Sybase is 5.7.5.40. Upgrades are supported from versions 5.5.5 and later.

2
Install version 5.7.5.40 of the cartridge as you would install a new Foglight for Sybase. Do not delete the older version of the .car file. Install version 5.7.5.40 over the older version. For cartridge installation instructions, see “Installing Foglight cartridges” in the Administration and Configuration Help.
If the Management Server has a questdb database, the appropriate new stored procedures are installed automatically by the agents during the activation process.

When upgrading from version 5.5.5 of the cartridge, the upgrade overrides the value of the common Performance Poll Cycle (seconds) property, and uses that value to set the collection rate for each table in the PerfMon_Dflt list. Versions of the cartridge prior to 5.5.8 included the common Sybase_MDA agent properties, Performance Collection True/False and Performance Poll Cycle (seconds), used to control the collection of performance data. This version of the cartridge includes performance monitoring properties that enable or disable the collection of performance data and the length of the polling interval on a per-table basis. The secondary agent properties in the PerfMon_Dflt list now include two new columns, Collect and Poll Cycle (sec), that control these values for each individual table.

NOTE: The file setup_mon_tables.sql contains all of the required parameters with sample values. The last four parameters were added in version 5.5.8.
