Upgrade Foglight for Exchange

The latest version of Foglight for Exchange is 6.0.0. You can upgrade to version 6.0.0 of Foglight for Exchange from version 5.7.2.2 and later.

Foglight for Exchange 6.0.0 requires Management Server version 6.0.0.

 
 
* 
NOTE: All original rules in each cartridge are reset when the cartridge is upgraded; therefore if you applied custom conditions to any original rules these modifications will be lost. It is recommended that when modifying rules you make a copy of the original, disable the original and enable the copy with the new condition. Use the Rules dashboard (Dashboards > Administration > Rules & Notifications > Rules) to copy a rule.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Foglight for Exchange 6.0.0 may require more memory be allocated to the main Agent Manager instance than was previously needed. For details, see the Foglight for Exchange Release Notes.
To upgrade Foglight for Exchange to the latest version:
1
Create and release the lockbox.
 
* 
NOTE: You can skip this step if upgrading Foglight for Exchange from version 5.6.6 or later.
a
From the navigation panel, navigate to the Credentials > Manage Lockboxes dashboard.
b
Create a custom lockbox for the Exchange credential. In the New Lockbox dialog box, type ExchangeLockbox as the lockbox name, and secure the lockbox by typing a password (optionally). If you choose to use the default lockbox (System), you can ignore this step.
c
In the Manage Lockboxes dashboard, release the lockbox for the newly create ExchangeLockbox lockbox, by clicking the icon on its Release to Credentials Clients column. Enter the password for authorizing the operation, select the clients from the list, and click Release.
2

Upgrade Foglight for Infrastructure

The latest version of Foglight for Infrastructure is 6.0.0.

Foglight for Infrastructure 5.8.5.8 and higher deprecate the following agent types:

•

•
DellFileLogMonitorAgent: Replaced with the new FileLogMonitorAgent agent type.
•
DellWindowsEventLogMonitorAgent: Replaced with the new WindowsEventLogMonitorAgent agent type.

The specific agent types listed above are being deprecated in order to comply with rebranding requirements. The deprecated agent types and their replacements are identical, with the exception of the agent type name. 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 6.0.0 requires Management Server version 6.0.0 and Foglight Agent Manager 6.0.0.

NOTE: Some content in Foglight for Infrastructure supersedes that of the legacy Cartridge for Operating Systems. However, no upgrade path is provided for replacing an existing legacy Cartridge for Operating System with Foglight for Infrastructure.

NOTE: Foglight for Infrastructure 5.8.1 (and later) requires the latest OS Patch level for AIX®. In order to support the AIX platform, the latest OS Service Packs must be applied prior to installing or upgrading Foglight for Infrastructure to 5.8.5.4 (or later).
To upgrade Foglight for Infrastructure to version 6.0.0:
•
Install version 6.0.0 of the cartridge as you would a new Foglight for Infrastructure cartridge. Do not delete the older version of the car file. Install version 6.0.0 over the older version.
