Edit New Files to Match Your Customized Files

It is important to use the latest YAML files for a successful upgrade.

Edit the following files within the sysdigcloud directory to match any customizations you may have made in your existing production system.

Sysdig Cloud Files

Customization involves copying the existing settings from your environment and modifying the files listed in this section.

Update the following files with customizations from your existing environment:

  • sysdigcloud/config.yaml: Pull configurations from your sysdigcloud-config configmap to the downloaded sysdigcloud/config.yaml.

    The following variables are mandatory for Sysdig installations:

    api.url
    collector.endpoint
    sysdigcloud.license
    

    The following variables are optional but commonly modified for Sysdig installations:

    cassandra.jvm.options
    elasticsearch.jvm.options
    sysdigcloud.jvm.api.options
    sysdigcloud.jvm.collector.options
    sysdigcloud.jvm.worker.options
    

    If you have modified the previous config.yaml, copy the modified options such as the external endpoints. You must also check deployment YAML files for CPU/memory settings.

  • Copy configurations from your existing deployment and update the spec.replicas definition in the following files:

    • sysdigcloud/api-deployment.yaml

    • sysdigcloud/collector-deployment.yaml

    • sysdigcloud/worker-deployment.yaml

  • If running Sysdig Secure:

Please do not edit the image: property.

-   `sysdigcloud/anchore-core-config.yaml`

-   `sysdigcloud/anchore-worker-config.yaml`

-   `sysdigcloud/anchore-core-deployment.yaml`

-   `sysdigcloud/anchore-worker-deployment.yaml`

-   `sysdigcloud/scanning-api-deployment.yaml`

-   `sysdigcloud/scanning-alertmgr-deployment.yaml`

Postgres File (if running Sysdig Secure)

Update the following file with customizations from your existing environment:

Please do not edit the image: property.

  • Modify the storage class name, spec.volumeClaimTemplates[].spec.storageClassName in the datastores/as_kubernetes_pods/manifests/postgres/postgres-statefulset.yaml file.

Elasticsearch and Cassandra Files

In version 2.3.0, Elasticsearch and Cassandra yaml configurations have been updated. Update the new files with customizations from your existing environment.

Please do not edit the image: property.

  • elasticsearch-statefulset.yaml - For example, your environment may have customized the values for the number of replicas, resource constraints, amount of storage, and the storage class name:

    spec.replicas and spec.template.spec.containers[elasticsearch].env[ELASTICSEARCH_GOSSIP_NODES_NUM].value
    spec.template.spec.containers[].resources
    spec.volumeClaimTemplates[].spec.resources.requests.storage
    spec.volumeClaimTemplates[].spec.storageClassName
    
  • cassandra-statefulset.yaml - As with Elasticsearch, your environment may have customized the values for the number of replicas, resource constraints, amount of storage, and the storage class name:

    spec.replicas
    spec.template.spec.containers[].resources
    spec.volumeClaimTemplates[].spec.resources.requests.storage
    spec.volumeClaimTemplates[].spec.storageClassName
    

Apply the Files

Run the kubectl commands to apply the relevant files to your cluster.

Upgrade for Sysdig Monitor

The --force flag deletes the object and re-creates it whereas the --replace flag automatically creates an object if it doesn’t exist.

NAMESPACE=sysdigcloud
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f sysdigcloud/config.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE replace --force -f datastores/as_kubernetes_pods/manifests/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-statefulset.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE replace --force -f datastores/as_kubernetes_pods/manifests/cassandra/cassandra-statefulset.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f sysdigcloud/api-deployment.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f sysdigcloud/collector-deployment.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f sysdigcloud/worker-deployment.yaml

Upgrade for Sysdig Secure

For versions 2.4.1 and higher: To use the Reports functionality in Sysdig Secure, it is necessary to enter a license key in the anchore-license.yaml. If you are upgrading or installing and do not have an anchore license please contact support. This license is used for additional 3rd party vulnerability feed entitlements.

  1. Edit the license YAML file: sysdigcloud/anchore-enterprise-license.yaml. Replace <LICENSE> with the key received from Sysdig.

    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: anchore-enterprise-license
    data:
      # <LICENSE> is derived from `cat anchore-license.yaml | base64`
      anchore-license.yaml: <LICENSE>
    type: Opaque
    
  2. Run the command:

    kubectl -n sysdigcloud apply -f sysdigcloud/anchore-enterprise-license.yaml
    

Apply the Files

Run the following commands, preserving the order:

kubectl -n $NAMESPACE replace --force -f datastores/as_kubernetes_pods/manifests/postgres/postgres-statefulset.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f sysdigcloud/anchore-core-config.yaml
kubectl -n $NAMESPACE apply -f sysdigcloud/anchore-worker-config.yaml
