After the SONARPLEX Upgrade
SONARPLEX 5 is a major release and thus some minor system configuration changes must be done right after the upgrade.
Updating the LOAD Configuration
The following step assures that the global LOAD Configuration is properly updated and is mandatory.
- Open Admin GUI > Configuration > System > Load Configuration
- Choose
to save the current configuration and apply it with the following 
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
Flush the Mail Queue
It is possible that during the upgrade system messages are created and stored in the email queue. Those would be sent out whenever you enable the SMTP configuration and you can flush those if you don't want to receive such mails from the upgrade.
Flushing queued e-mails:
- Open the Admin GUI > System > Email Queue
- Choose Delete all messages in queue and press OK
Re-Enable the Notifications
When all upgrade steps are done and the system behaves properly, it is save to enable the notifications again. Check that not too many service and host checks are in Non-OK states to avoid notification floods.
Enable notifications globally:
- Open the Web GUI > Status > Processes
- Choose
Enable notifications and press Commit in the next screen
