Description

When upgrading to agent version 4.11, some client custom configuration files must potentially move manually

Principles

• No more .template files
• the default configuration is now delivered in <HPA agent dir>\default_config
• specific client custom configuration are present in <HPA agent dir>\override_config

Upgrading steps

Remove all the .template files

Whatever their location <HPA agent dir>\default_config or <HPA agent dir>\

Diff between existing override_config and new default_config folders

Most of the files should be the same, in that case, the files and folder present in ./override_config must be deleted.

For files than can be different, nothing to do - typically valid for:

• ./profiles folder and content
• ./flag_settings folder and content
• automatic_st_monitoring.list file

Profile files management

• Regarding the current version of the agent, client custom .profile files were present in <HPA agent dir>/wily/core/config
  • The default HPA agent files were directly modified
• In that case, this folder must be backed up before the new agent install, and differences between backed up files and new files deployed by the new agent must be reviewed
  • In case valid differences are found, the target .profile file(s) must be present in <HPA agent dir>\override_config
