Understand product versions

This guide provides instructions on how to upgrade to the latest version of the Foglight® Management Server and the Foglight Agent Manager. This guide also provides upgrade instructions for the cartridges and cartridge-related components that are included with Foglight 5.9.2.

This section provides information about important changes made in this release, product versions, and components compatibility:

Components compatibility

The Foglight 5.9.x code line includes a number of critical changes which require particular attention for customers upgrading from a 5.7.x version. Specifically, three primary functional capabilities (server side data handling, Federation, High Availability) that used legacy JBoss components in versions prior to 5.9.x have been re-written to improve Foglight Management Server security. This has the following specific impacts on customers upgrading from a 5.7.x version.

•
Foglight Management Servers must be upgraded to version 5.7.5.8 before they can upgrade to the 5.9.x code line. If the Foglight Management Server is below 5.7.5.8, the installer will fail and display the appropriate error message.
•
All Quest or Quest partner delivered cartridges that have a dependency on the changed components in the data submission handler must be upgraded prior to upgrading to the 5.9.x code line. A complete list of cartridges is provided in Compatible cartridges list. If there are incompatible Quest or Quest partner delivered cartridges, the installer will fail and display the appropriate error message.
•
Other custom cartridges MAY have a dependency on the server side data handling component that has changed. A pre-upgrade analysis tool has been developed to identify any custom cartridges that might need changed.
•
Before upgrading to 5.9.x, Quest recommends you create a Management Server Support Bundle to facilitate future communications with support regarding upgrade failures.
•
There are new configuration requirements for customer running High Availability (HA) or Federation. For more information, see Upgrade the cartridges in a federated or High Availability (HA) environment, Federation Field Guide, and High Availability Field Guide.
