Observium Updating

Updating

Observium has been designed from its initial inception to be easy and seamless to upgrade. We recommend keeping Community Edition installations updated to the latest version and updating Subscription Edition installations at least once per month.

Community Edition¶

Upgrade to latest Major release¶

Disable observium cronjobs optional

Run the following commands (as root):

cd /opt
mv observium observium_old
wget -Oobservium-community-latest.tar.gz http://www.observium.org/observium-community-latest.tar.gz
tar zxvf observium-community-latest.tar.gz
mv /opt/observium_old/rrd observium/
mv /opt/observium_old/logs observium/
mv /opt/observium_old/config.php observium/

Update DB schema:

/opt/observium/discovery.php -u

If it has been a very long time since you've updated (12 months or more), you may want to force an immediate rediscovery of all devices to make sure things are up to date :

/opt/observium/discovery.php -h all

Re-enable observium cronjobs optional

You may now delete your observium_old directory if everything has updated correctly:

rm -rf observium_old
