temboard upgrade process is going to be done within 4 stages:

• Software upgrade
• Configuration update
• Repository upgrade
• Post-upgrade operations

Software upgrade

First, temboard must be stopped:

sudo systemctl stop temboard

New package installation:

sudo yum install temboard

Configuration update

The following changes should be reflected into the configuration file:

• plugin supervision renamed to monitoring : parameters plugins and plugins_orm_engine
• plugin settings renamed to pgconf : parameter plugins
• CA cert. file not required anymore : parameter ssl_ca_cert_file can be commented

Repository upgrade

temboard database structure needs to be upgraded too. Before doing anything, you should make a backup of temboard database with pg_dump.

Once the backup is done, you can proceed with database upgrade:

• Load SQL script /usr/share/temboard/sql/monitoring.sql with super-user privileges
• Load upgrade script /usr/share/temboard/sql/upgrade-0.0.1-1.1.sql with super-user privileges

If everything goes well, you can drop old data:

DROP SCHEMA supervision CASCADE;

Post-upgrade operations

Task list clean-up:

sudo rm /var/run/temboard/task_list

Finally, temboard can be started:

sudo systemctl start temboard
