Please follow these steps to update from EventSentry version 2.7x / 2.80 to version 2.81.

 

1.Just in case there are problems with the update, export the configuration using the File -> Export function of the management console.

 

2. Run the EventSentry 2.81 installer on the same machine where you previously ran the installer. You should not be prompted for license or setup information.

 

3. If you are currently using a MSSQL or MySQL database then make sure that you select the respective option on the Custom Setup page of the setup when you update. This ensures that all tables in the EventSentry database are updated, a requirement before you can update the agents.

If you are using Oracle or Access then you will need to run the Database Setup Wizard in order to update the current database to the latest standard. It is recommended that you run the Database Setup Wizard as soon as the installation is complete to avoid problems with the agents writing to the database.

 

4. A reboot might be necessary depending on the OS you are using and other dynamic factors.

 

5. Once the setup is complete and the database has been updated (if the ESDiskspaceStatus table exists in the EventSentry database then you know that you are database has been updated) you can start pushing out the updated agent.

 

Navigate to Remote -> Update Agent(s) to push the new agent to all remote monitored machines.
