Before you upgrade
If you built syslog and trap alerts using custom SQL queries, they will not function after upgrading to 2022.3 or later. SolarWinds recommends you rewrite the alerts using SWQL (Orion.OLM entities) or using the alerting functionality built into Log Analyzer.
How to upgrade
If you are upgrading from an earlier version, use the following resources to plan and implement your upgrade:
-
Use the LA Install and Upgrade Guide to help you plan and execute your upgrade.
-
When you are ready, download the upgrade package from the SolarWinds Customer Portal.
If you are upgrading from LA 2022.2, remove the following file from all agents (both local and remote) after upgrading and restart the SolarWinds Agent services:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Agent\Plugins\LA_WindowsEvents.Agent.plugin
Failure to remove this file after upgrading from SolarWinds Platform 2022.2 may result in future licensing conflicts.
End of Life
For modules based on Orion Platform 2020.2.6 and earlier, SolarWinds is announcing future end-of-life plans for your convenience. As always, SolarWinds recommends you upgrade to the latest version of your products at your earliest convenience.
