Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8, 7.8.2, 7.8.3, and 7.8.5 are no longer available for download. Because of the improvements included in the latest version, please download and install version 7.8.6. |
This Release Notes document describes changes to the 7.8.x releases. For more information about the fixed issues in this release, see Resolved Issues at the end of this topic. |
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.6 includes the following new and improved features.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.6 updates web services to the latest versions, which resolve outstanding security issues.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.6 adds support for RHEL 7.5 through 8.0 and support for Microsoft Windows Server 2019.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.6 adds support for the following databases:
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 (MySQL 8.0). You first must upgrade to Uptime 7.8.5 before continuing on to the Uptime 7.8.6 upgrade. |
It is important to note that upgrading to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x may take 30 minutes or longer to complete because of the upgrade of MySQL from 5.5.x to 5.7. Based on our experience, it requires approximately 1.5 hours for every 50GB of database disk used by MySQL. |
Make sure you have enough space before attempting to upgrade to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x. You should have at least 40% free space before beginning the upgrade. |
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.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.
Upgrading the Uptime Monitoring Station will upgrade Apache, PHP, and OpenSSL. This will overwrite the Apache configuration and PHP configuration files. For users who have modified the uptime\apache\conf\httpd.conf or uptime\apache\php\php.ini, the old files will be available in the uptime\config-backup\[old uptime version]\apache\conf and php folders. When the upgrade is complete, customizations can be copied over to the new files. There are several changes in these new configuration files so please do not simply overwrite the file.
The WebLogic Service Monitor is updated to support SSL in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x. Also, email round trip service monitors using or any other service using self-signed certificates manually added to the trusted store will be 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 7.8.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.
To back up your MySQL.ini file
You can only upgrade directly to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x if your currently installed version is version 7.7.x or 7.6.x. Users on version 7.1 must upgrade to version 7.3, then 7.5 before upgrading to 7.7.3, then 7.8.x. 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.x. For more information, see Upgrading to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.6 and later.
Users who are running version 5.5 or earlier must upgrade to 6.0 or 6.0.1 as a starting point. (Refer to the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Knowledge Base for specific version upgrade paths.) If you are eligible for a direct upgrade path, you can upgrade using the installer for your Monitoring Station’s operating system. The upgrade process installs new features, and does not modify or delete your existing data.
Refer to one of the following topics if your current version is older than the version required for a direct upgrade:
Users who have a clustered environment should continue using the Uptime 7.7.3 agent. A change in how the UUID is formatted in Uptime 7.8.x causes issues when monitoring clusters. For more information about how SQL Server cluster monitoring works in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, see the IDERA Community article, Monitor MS-SQL Clusters and Always-On Availability Groups.
Users who manually updated Apache/PHP/OpenSSL in previous Uptime Infrastructure Monitor release using these instructions and who want to upgrade to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.2 or later, must perform the following steps before upgrading:
uptime/conf/httpd.conf
Listen UIMHTTP
Listen [port on which you want the web server to respond]
i.e. Listen 9999
For more information about manually updating Apache/PHP/OpenSSL, see Manually Update Apache and PHP on Windows and Manually Update Apache and PHP on Linux.
Users upgrading from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.0 to 7.8.2 or later who use MSSQL as a database backend should check their [uptime install folder]\uptime.conf and take note of the drivers used. If the sqljdbc4.jar driver is not being used, nothing needs to be done. Look for:
#To use the sqljdbc4.jar instead of the default jtds jar, uncomment the following two lines, place the jar file in the uptime/core folder and restart the collector service.
If dbDriverClass is uncommented, you should comment it out prior to running the upgrade. If you wish to continue using the MSSQL native JDBC driver, you should copy sqljdbc4.jar out of the [uptime install folder]\core folder prior to upgrading as it will get removed during the upgrade. If this task is not performed, you will notice that the upgrade program fails to reinstall the MSSQL JDBC driver and the upgrade will break.
You must download the sqljdbc4.jar driver for MSSQL (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11774 and put it in the uptime/core directory after the upgrade, uncomment the line we commented prior, and restart Uptime data collector (core in Linux) service to pick up the change.
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x upgrade process for plugins is as follows:
If you have any expiration check service monitors in your environment, please verify that they are working correctly after the upgrade is complete. If you notice an error with SSLv3 handshaking in the status output, please re-create the service monitor. |
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.x upgrade process is as follows: Some gadgets were adjusted for 7.8.x and will require your attention if you are running on an MS-SQL or ORACLE database back end.
Affected gadgets include:
For Oracle and MS-SQL users, please install the ODBC driver for your database on the Uptime monitoring station.
The following links and steps help you install the drivers.
If the database and monitoring station exist on the same machine, then drivers are already installed. Only DSN will need to be created. Also, the exact name as specified in these steps must be used for the connection or the gadgets will not work. If you wish to use a different connection name, you must edit the uptimeDB.php file accordingly. |
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.
|
Restart the uptime_httpd service to pick up this change.
|
If you are having trouble with installing just the Oracle InstantClient & ODBC, the likely issue is you are missing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64) that includes the DLL that this driver needs. Another option is to install these drivers as part of the Oracle Data Access Components which is a bundle of Oracle drivers compared to the zips mentioned above. This bundle can be found on the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/windows/downloads/index.html
In order to use the Metric gadget gadget with a SQL Server-based Datastore, you will need to uncomment the appropriate ODBC Driver in uptime_dir/gadgets/definitions/uptime.Metricgadget/uptimeDB.php.
Windows Based monitoring stations will already have ODBC itself installed as part of Windows, and should be able to use the example provided in uptimeDB.php.
Linux based monitoring stations will require the unixODBC package to be installed. This package should include the /usr/lib64/libtdsodbc.so.0 SQL Server ODBC Driver needed for MSSQL/SQLserver. Which is also the example provided in uptimeDB.php
See Oracle ODBC Driver Linux Installation above for more details on installing unixODBC.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.5 includes the following new and improved features.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.5 updates web services to new versions, which resolve outstanding security issues. Current versions include:
The Monitor MySQL Replication Status plugin now is available from The Grid and includes a fix for vulnerabilities for Linux monitoring station installations. This plugin allows you to monitor MySQL replication and UIM High Availability configurations.
This release addresses some issues with the Windows Event Log Scanner monitor. These issues include:
This release includes a fix that resolves some null check interval error messages unexpectedly appearing in uptime.log. Note that this fix only applies to vCenter, and does not apply to WMI or Hyper-V. This issue only exists in older versions of Uptime and is resolved by upgrading to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.5.
The UIM High Availability feature is not officially supported by Idera. Use at your own risk. This documentation may be inaccurate and scripts identified may be missing or out-of-date. The Idera support team is unable to provide missing information, documentation, or scripts. Documentation and scripts are not updated or tested. Idera cannot guarantee that future product changes or database updates won't break working HA instances. |
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.4 is no longer available for download. Version 7.8.5 fixes an issue causing marked dashboard lag on Windows operating system. For this reason, we've replaced version 7.8.4 with 7.8.5. All new and fixed items attributed to version 7.8.4 are now associated with 7.8.5. |
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 includes the following new and improved features.
An update to NetFlow Scrutinizer integration authentication to accept tokens instead of user name and passwords is addressed in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3. Only NetFlow Scrutinizer versions 16.7 and later support tokens. While using the netflow.username
and netflow.password
options still are available for previous version support, this release includes netflow.token
to support the new authentication method. For more information about using NetFlow Scrutinizer, see Interfacing with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor.
Power Linux Agents have a dependency lm_sensors.so, which is part of lm_sensors-libs package(rpm) on RHEL. If not present, you can obtain this file by running 'yum install lm_sensors-libs' on RHEL platform. You also can download the file from https://rpmfind.net by searching for lm_sensors-libs (eg : lm_sensors-libs-3.4.0-12.fc28.ppc64.rpm). |
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 now supports Big Endian and Little Endian modes for Agents on Linux/AIX POWER platforms.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 updates web services to new versions, which resolve outstanding security issues. Current versions include:
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 includes MIB files for:
For more information about MIBs, see SNMP Monitoring Quick Start Guide.
In order to improve user experience, Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 includes new, more explanatory error messages in the Auto Discovery wizard when the system fails to add network devices.
This release removes the Response Time default times for Warning and Critical messages on Uptime Infrastructure Monitor default Service Monitors and Uptime Monitoring Station on MySQL, MSSQL, and Oracle databases. These fields now have no value by default.
When you add a vCenter using the Auto Discovery wizard, Uptime Infrastructure Monitor now decodes the vCenter parameters and then properly labels and stores the associated element as a vCenter server.
Beginning with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3, we no longer attempt to discover WMI or Agents when adding powered off Hyper-V or VMware virtual machines. If Uptime finds that the VM is powered on, it will attempt to discover WMI or Agents.
This release includes the following improvements to logging functionality:
uptime.log
file. Such results are not normally important to log and can make the logs unnecessarily large. Now, by default, this information is no longer captured in the uptime.log
file.logging.conf
file contains additional information about common configuration options to capture logging details within your environment.A new option in the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 installer allows an admin to include text on the login page that the user must agree to before completing login to the product. A check box is included for the user to select for agreement. The text appearing in this field is managed in the Config > Uptime Configuration page and may be changed only by an administrator. This feature is not active by default. To add/change the text that appears, edit the file .../uptime/GUI/EULA.html. There is also an associated style sheet located at .../uptime/GUI/styles/EULA.css. To activate, change usg.terms=false
to usg.terms=true
.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.3 includes an improved Debian Agent installer that improves the user experience and fixes some issues that occasionally caused the installation to fail.
This release bundles JDK 7u141.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.2 includes the following new and improved features.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.2 updates web services to new versions, which resolve outstanding security issues. Current versions include:
Apache 2.4.25 requires the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime for Visual Studio 2012 SP4 to be installed. You can install it manually or the installer will do it for you. download this package from Microsoft at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 |
Several gadgets and plugins have been reworked and improved. See Upgrading Plugins for information on accessing these updates.
Problem Report (PR) generation, export, and import user interface and functionality are greatly improved.
Improved PR export features:
Improved PR import feature:
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.0 includes the following new and improved features.
Monitoring of Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines now is supported in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8. This support mirrors most of the features already supported for VMware and was testing using Microsoft Windows 2012 R2.
Because the features and functions for VMware and Hyper-V VMs are similar, many of the help wiki topics include information about both platforms. For information specific to Hyper-V, see Monitoring Virtual Environments and Virtual System Monitoring Concepts.
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8 includes improvements to security for Oracle Solaris, IBM AIX, and HP-UX agents by communicating through stunnel and OpenSSL. Both products should be installed on the Agent server before completing the secure install of UT 7.8. If stunnel or OpenSSL is not present, the installer defaults to a regular installation.
If you want an Uptime Infrastructure Monitor report to only include data from certain hours during the day, version 7.8 allows you to select those hours from the dropdown lists in the Daily Hours section of the Reports tab. Note that this time is local to the monitoring station. For example, if you want to report to cover the hours from 1:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., select 1:00 from the Start dropdown list, and 13:00 from the End dropdown list. For more information about this feature, see Using Reports.
The WebLogic Service Monitor is updated to support SSL in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8. Note that any SSL self-signed certificates manually added to the trusted store is 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.
To help VMware SDK product users, this version of Uptime Infrastructure includes support for VMware vSphere SDK version 6.
Support for SNMP v1, which was removed in a previous version of Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, is again available to monitor SNMP v1-only devices. You can add an SNMP v1 device by selecting Network Device while in the Add System/Network Device page only.

For Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.5 and later, the vcruntime140.dll must be installed prior to installing or upgrading. If the .dll is not available during the upgrade or installation process, you may receive a message that the procedure failed.

Users who upgrade to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.5 may experience issues as a result of the Uptime version number in the Database version (viewed by clicking Help > About Uptime) not changing to the proper version number. This issue only affects you if you run Uptime in UI-only mode where the user interface and datastore are running on two different servers. When starting the UptimeCollector, there is a check to see whether the Uptime version is the same as the Uptime version in the database on the node with the database. When this check fails, the UptimeCollector fails to start on the UI-only node, resulting in a failure to launch the UI. To resolve this issue, you must insert another row with the 7.8.5 Uptime version into the dbversion table with the following command on the DB node: Windows
Linux
MySQL is the default database included with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor. If you are using SQL Server or Oracle, run the following command after logging into your database:
|
The lmhostid returns the value '000000000000' on some occasions. This issue results from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor expecting the primary Network Interface Card (NIC) device name of eth0. If the name is not eth0, issues can result when registering your license.
Use the following workaround to rename your current NIC device name.
If you any questions about this article or the procedure itself or any of the commands contained herein, please contact UIM Support and a member of the team can help. |
Power Linux Agents have a dependency lm_sensors.so, which is part of lm_sensors-libs package(rpm) on RHEL. If not present, you can obtain this file by running 'yum install lm_sensors-libs' on RHEL platform.
You also can download the file from https://rpmfind.net by searching for lm_sensors-libs (eg : lm_sensors-libs-3.4.0-12.fc28.ppc64.rpm).
The Citrix XenApp Monitor returns a ' (null): 0x80041010 ' error on some occasions when WMI is in use. Be sure the Citrix WMI service is enabled on the Citrix XenApp host.
Users who update from Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.8.0 to 7.8.3 may notice that the Uptime Agent does not appear in the Windows Control Panel. If this occurs, note that the automatic installation of the Agent did not occur and you must manually start the installation.
The CPU Utilization Ratio report highlights systems with a CPU ratio over 0.0. However, an error causes Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to highlight all CPU ratio results including values of 0.0.
When running apt-get update
and apt-get upgrade
, the following error is caused by missing LSB tags and overrides from /opt/uptime-agent/bin/upt_daemon.sh
:

# Description: Uptime Agent Deamon
### END INIT INFO
The Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Linux installer assumes Apache should be or is installed in /usr/local/apache, but it checks where Uptime is installed. This causes the user to have two different install paths for Uptime, which causes Apache to fail.
If the user does not launch Uptime Infrastructure Monitor from the installer and does not receive the Auto-Discovery Wizard upon opening the product, change the URL to:
localhost:9999/autoDiscoveryWizard.php
Note that entering only localhost:9999
does not automatically run the wizard.
When uninstalling Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, the uninstall does not automatically stop or kill the stunnel.exe
process. In order to delete the Uptime directory during uninstallation, the user first must kill the stunnel.exe
process.
Legacy code used in implementing the Wait I/O report for elements using a Windows agent is causing the report to display 0 instead of a proper value. In comparison, the same stat returned when using a Linux agent shows the correct value. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
In the Quick Snapshots for both VMware and Hyper-V, the Swap Usage vs. Swap Space sometimes displays '0 undefined.' This issue will be addressed in a future release.
