for the azeti NG device
If you're using the azeti NG and want to install plugins manually you must check if a specific ARM version of that plugin exists. Please do so as the ARM platform of the azeti NG may require a specific ARM version of particular plugins. Anyway, most of the plugins will run on any platform. An example for such a specific ARM version is the modbus_fastd.azse.
| Info |
|---|
You can get specific ARM builds of plugins which run on the azeti NG in the azeti Portal > Downloads > SONARPLEX Generation 5 > Plugins > ARM. |

After the SONARPLEX Upgrade
SONARPLEX 5 is a major release and thus some minor system configuration changes must be done right after the upgrade.
Configure the global Log Level
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
