- Apache 2.4.48
- PHP 8.0.7
- OpenSSL 1.1.1k
...
This version of Uptime Infrastructure Monitor includes support for vCenter 7.0.
Upgrade Notices
| Warning |
|---|
Users who have a bundled MySQL database cannot upgrade directly from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.7.3 (MySQL 5.5) to Uptime 7.8.6 or later (MySQL 8.0). You first must upgrade to Uptime 7.8.5 before continuing on to the Uptime 7.8.6 or later upgrade. |
| Warning |
|---|
If you are running Uptime 7.8.6 with SUSE 12.3, you first must upgrade to SUSE 15.3 before upgrading to Uptime 7.910. |
| Info |
|---|
Make sure you have enough space before attempting to upgrade to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.910.x. You should have at least 40% free space before beginning the upgrade. |
...
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.910.x data collector includes a maxpermgen size of 160. This is up from 128 MB in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.7 and earlier. Users who require custom or higher settings can reference the old config file stored at c:\uptime\config-backup\[prior uptime version]\uptime (Windows) or uptime/config-backup/[prior uptime version]/uptime/uptime.jcnf (Linux) and restore the settings after the upgrade. A data collector restart is required. Otherwise the customizations may be lost.
...
The WebLogic Service Monitor is updated to support SSL in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x and later. Also, email round trip service monitors using or any other service using self-signed certificates manually added to the trusted store will be are overwritten upon upgrade and must be reinstalled after the upgrade is complete. For more information about this process, see the Application Monitors section about WebLogic. Because this is a pain, and you may not be aware this was ever done, it is a good idea to back it up and restore it after an upgrade. Simply back up the uptime/jre/lib/security/cacerts file prior to upgrade. Post upgrade, shut down the Uptime Data Collector (uptime core service in Linux) and Uptime Controller (Win and Linux) services, copy your old cacerts file back into that folder, and start the service up again.
...
Users upgrading to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.910.x who previously upgraded to Uptime 7.7.x from an earlier version should back up their MySQL my.ini file before upgrading, make the following change, and then replace the newly-installed my.ini file with the backup after completing the upgrade.
...
- Stop your Uptime services.
- In uptime/mysql/my.ini, comment out table_cache=256. This must be commented out because the MySQL 5.7 version is named table_open_cache.
- Search for and, if present, comment out innodb_buffer_pool_instance. This must be commented out because the MySQL 5.7 version is named innodb_buffer_pool_instances.
- Back up uptime/mysql/my.ini.
- Run the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.910.x installer. Note that the upgrade of tables to the new database engine may take from minutes to several hours to complete depending on database size.
- Replace uptime/mysql/my.ini with the backed up version.
...
You can only upgrade directly to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.910.x if your currently installed version is version 7.8.6. Users on version 7.1 must upgrade to version 7.3, then 7.5 before upgrading to 7.7.3, then 7.8.6, 7.9, and finally 7.9.x10. Upgrades are possible across only two minor releases. Users who are running version 6.0 or 6.0.1 must upgrade to 7.0 > 7.1 > 7.3 > 7.5 > 7.7.3 > 7.8.6 > 7.9 > 7.x10. For more information, see Upgrading to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.6 and later.
...
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.9.x upgrade process for plugins is as follows:
...
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.9.x upgrade process is as follows: Some gadgets were adjusted for 7.8.x and later and will require your attention if you are running on an MS-SQL or ORACLE database back end.
...
- Install unixODBC via your package manager (i.e. yum install unixodbc). This step installs unixODBC into your ‘/usr/lib64/’ directory.
- Download and Install the latest version of the Oracle Instant Client Basic package, available from Oracle at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html. Keep in mind that Uptime 7.2.x and later come bundled with 64-bit Apache/PHP, so you will need the Linux x86-64 package (i.e. oracle-instantclient12.1-basic-12.1.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm). Note that the 12.1 package also works with 11g databases. This package installs some of the required binaries/drivers for Oracle into /usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64/lib/.
- Download and install the ODBC: Additional libraries package, available from Oracle (i.e. oracle-instantclient12.1-odbc-12.1.0.1.0-1.x86_64.rpm). This package provides the actual ODBC Driver needed.
Edit the /etc/init.d/uptime_httpd script that starts Uptime’s apache, and then add the following lines to set some of the required environment variables. Note that this should be toward the beginning of the script and the end of the other export commands, such as export PATH , export MIBDIRS etc.
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/12.1/client64export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/libRestart the uptime_httpd service to pick up this change.
/etc/init.d/uptime_httpd stop/etc/init.d/uptime_httpd start- Make sure to uncomment one of the odbc driver lines in /gadgets/definitions/uptime.Metricgadget/uptimeDB.php as explained above.
