- Happy days!
- NOTES:
- After InsightIQ upgrade is complete, the Settings > Monitored Clusters page displays the Monitoring Status of clusters as Monitoring Starting while InsightIQ completes post-upgrade tasks. During this time, InsightIQ still
monitors clusters . However, you might see gaps of missing information in data modules. These gaps will update after each cluster returns to a status of Latest Data:<date> .
- InsightIQ does not automatically gather the correct jobs and services statistics if you upgrade the OneFS version on a monitored cluster from OneFS 8.0.0 or earlier to OneFS 8.0.1 or later. In such cases, restart InsightIQ before you collect the statistics.
- If you have upgraded to InsightIQ version 4.1.2, the root login will no longer work over SSH. In such a scenario, you can log in to InsightIQ as an administrator user and run
sudo to obtain the necessary privileges.
