Basic Upgrade (Replicated)

Support for new Replicated installations will be deprecated in the coming months. Feel free to contact Sysdig Support with questions.

Non-Airgapped Installation

Upgrading is very simple when your environment has access to the Internet during the installation process (non-airgapped).

It is highly recommended to follow upgrade best practices:

  • Keep upgrades current

  • Upgrade progressively without skipping versions, and

  • Test upgrades in a non-mission-critical or staging environment before rolling in to production.

Review the On-Premises Upgrades for supported upgrade paths.

Upgrade Replicated Components

Check Current Version

The Replicated infrastructure installs its own container based agents that deploy and manage the various Sysdig back-end components. To confirm the currently running version of the Replicated agent, perform replicated --version at the command line on each host. [Reference Replicated.com]

Upgrade Replicated Client

  1. Log in to the Replicated Management Console and stop the Sysdig application (Sysdig Monitor and Sysdig Secure, if applicable) before upgrading the Replicated client.

  2. Run the following command on the management host to upgrade the replicated infrastructure:

    sudo curl -sSL https://get.replicated.com/docker | sudo bash
    
  3. Run the following command on the remaining nodes in the cluster:

    sudo curl -sSL https://get.replicated.com/operator | sudo bash
    

Upgrade Sysdig Application

Installation Sequence:

  • Pre-Version 860: Install upgrades sequentially, one version at a time.

  • Version 860 - 1091: You can directly install the version you want.*

  • Version 1091 - Sept 2018 release: All users must upgrade from 1091 - Sept 2018 and run the Unified Events migration tool.

  • Version 2266: See Note, below.

*Sequential installs (even when not strictly required) ensure consistent database migrations and allow for easier troubleshooting, should problems occur. Sysdig recommends staying fairly up-to-date on the release cycle to avoid “stacking up” upgrades.

  1. Log in to the Replicated Management Console > Dashboards.

  2. Click View Update.

    The release history is listed, and “New” for any new releases.

  3. Click Install for the desired release.

Upgrades to version 2304

After upgrading to version 2304, you must add a node for emailrenderer and nginxfrontend to the replicated cluster, and then run a command on the node.

  • Private and Public IP Addresses: Provide the IPs where the containers will run.

  • Select emailrenderer and nginxfrontend.

  • Run the curl command as noted in the image above, including the optional parameters as needed for your environment.

Upgrade Replicated Client

  1. Download the latest Replicated agent installation package:

    curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/replicated-airgap-work/replicated.tar.gz > replicated.tar.gz
    
  2. In a command shell, extract the Replicated installer:

    sudo tar xzvf replicated.tar.gz
    
  3. Run the ‘install.sh’ script on the management host:

    sudo cat ./install.sh | sudo bash -s airgap
    
  4. Run the ‘operator_install.sh’ script on all remaining nodes:

    sudo cat ./operator_install.sh | sudo bash -s airgap
    

Upgrade Sysdig Application

  1. Download the new Sysdig application .airgap installer, using the link and password supplied for the initial installation.

  2. Copy the .airgap file to the update directory on the management host.

    To check or configure the update path, log in to the Replicated Management Console and click Console Settings > Airgapped Settings section under the gear icon.

  3. In the Replicated Management Console, select the Dashboard tab and click Check Now.

  4. Click Install for the desired version.
