🔄Platform

Procedure to upgrade your on-premises platform.

Platform and agents can be upgraded separately.

A new platform is compatible with old and new agent versions, ensuring smooth operation both ways.

Each release comes with a minimum required version of the agent to supports the new features.

Date	Latest available platform version
2024-04-10	2024.04	Release Notes

Download the latest patch of the platform

• RedHat/Centos 7

• RedHat/Rocky linux/AlmaLinux 8

• RedHat/Rocky linux/AlmaLinux 9

• Debian Buster / Bullseye

The file size is approximately 250 MB.

Platform Upgrade

• Uncompress the downloaded file

tar xvzf patch-datasentinel.tar.gz

• 3 files are created

  • patch_datasentinel.sh

  • update-datasentinel.tar.gz

  • dump_grafana.sql

• Run the shell script

The script must be run as Datasentinel owner

Your confirmation is needed.

The script does several actions

• Stop backend components

• Backup old version

• Replace necessary files

• Update Grafana dashboards

• Start backend components

The script runs in a few seconds. At the end, Datasentinel should be UP and RUNNING

A log file update_datasentinel_<<VERSION>>.log is created in the current directory

If you have some “Dashboard not found” errors in the UI after upgrading (which should not happen), It means that new dashboards have not been registered correctly.

Follow this procedure to fix it: UI dashboard is encountering loading errors
