System Backup

...

SONARPLEX 5 is a major release and thus some minor system configuration changes must be done right after the upgrade.

A whole new logging framework was introduced with the upgrade. See Admin GUI > Configuration > System > Logging Configuration.

By default the Debug log level is set to OFF. We recommend turning it to INFO for all hardware types except the azeti NG.

Note
The azeti NG runs on SD flash storage and debug log levels can lead to decreased lifetime of the storage due to large amounts of write operations through logging. Therefore leave the Debug log level set to OFF.

Flush the Retention File

To warrant a consistent status among the old and new plugins, delete the retention file.

Info
Deleting the retention file leads to a flush of all status information, this will set every host and service object into state PENDING. This is expected and the objects will be checked during the normal check intervals and return into a non-PENDING state.

Deleting the retention file:

Open Admin GUI > Status > Monitor
Choose Delete state retention file (read online help before using), the Monitor process will be restarted automatically
