This chapter describes how to update your Sipmon MAP (Legacy) extension. This is done by updating the three main components:

  • Sipmon MAP (Legacy) server
  • Sipmon MAP (Legacy) web interface and its widget
  • Desktop client (automatically updated).

Before updating Sipmon MAP (Legacy) server, we highly recommend performing a MariaDB dump (backup) of your Sipmon_studio database. This will allow you easily to roll back to the previous state if necessary.

Be sure to read the release notes for an explanation of features, fixes and custom procedures.

Sipmon MAP (Legacy) Server ​

Run the following commands to upgrade your Sipmon MAP (Legacy) server:

This point only applies if you customized your Sipmon-map.conf configuration file. When updating your MAP (Legacy) module, the /etc/Sipmon-studio/Sipmon-map.conf file is not upgraded automatically: the new configuration file brought by the rpm does not replace the old file. You must copy the changes manually to your customized configuration file.

  • The old configuration file is renamed Sipmon-map.conf.rpmsave.
  • The upgrade installs a new Sipmon-map.conf file.

Run a diff between the old and the new configuration files:

shell
diff -u /etc/Sipmon-studio/Sipmon-map.conf /etc/Sipmon-studio/Sipmon-map.conf.rpmsave

For each difference between the files, assess whether you should copy it from Sipmon-map.conf.rpmsave to Sipmon-map.conf.

Sipmon MAP (Legacy) Web interface ​

Complete the upgrade by going to Administration > Extensions > Manager (module & widget parts):

Sipmon MAP (Legacy) Desktop client ​

If the user's computer has an online connection, the desktop client is automatically upgraded to the latest version that corresponds to the server.

Alternatively, the client can be downloaded through the menu Monitoring > Map and Desktop client button.
