Upgrade PostgreSQL¶
This section explains how to upgrade a PostgreSQL instance when it is monitored by a Temboard agent.
To upgrade to PostgreSQL instance hosting the repository
database, please
go to the Server Upgrade section.
Minor upgrade¶
PostgreSQL minor upgrades ( e.g. from 10.3
to 10.4
) are very important but
they include only backward-compatible changes.
Therefore, you can simply upgrade your instance using the usual update process, depending on which distribution you are using.
Major upgrade¶
PostgreSQL major upgrades ( e.g. from 13 to 14 ) will bring new features and improvements.
If you choose to migrate that your data from your current instance to a new one listening to another port ( or on another host), then you can simply add a temboard-agent to this new instance. However you will lose the history of the former one.
If you choose the "in-place upgrade", you can keep the same agent. Just edit
the "instance properties" in the /settings/instances
section of the server
in order to refresh the agent introspection of the Postgres instance.
