Important: Please note that an upgrade to the PowerConnect Splunkbase version 7.0.+ will require a restart of the search head where the existing app is installed. Therefore, the upgrade needs to be scheduled within your organization’s maintenance windows because the search head will temporarily be unavailable.
BEFORE COMPLETING THE UPGRADE: For Splunk Cloud customers running PowerConnect Splunk app versions 7.0.0+, please refer to Knowledge Base #173 to address a bug specific to Splunk Cloud that may prevent the Master Inventory Lookup (and potentially other KVstore-based lookups) from generating properly.
Before installing the new version: If you have made any changes to the lookup files (ip_subnets, security_parameters_names, sensitive_tcodes, wide_open_auth_objects, sensitive_user_roles, sensitive_user_roles_java) OR app's navigation bar :
Make sure you take the backup of the lookup files (located at: $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps/BNW-app-powerconnect/lookups/) AND app's navigation bar XML file (located at: $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps/BNW-app-powerconnect/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml).If you are upgrading PowerConnect app from version 6.2.0 and have followed the first way of updating queries through UI given in the following KB document - {+}https://www.powerconnect.io/wiki/kb-098-cpu-memory-and-availability-gauges-displaying-0-values-v-6-2-0-bug/+, then there would be a copy of the file sap_system_ovw.xml in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/bnw-app-powerconnect/local/data/ui/views directory. Remove this file from the location and then follow the steps below.
Install the app through UI from "Manage Apps" > "Install app from file".
Restart Splunk
From "Manage Apps" click on the "Set Up" link beside BNW-app-powerconnect entry. Follow the steps given in the following document to complete the Set up. If you upgrade the app to 7.x or above from any 6.x version or lower, please run the Setup Page again so that you can use the panel-wise alert functionality.
If you have taken a backup of lookup files mentioned in Step 1 of this document; its time to move them back to $SPLUNK_HOME$/etc/apps/BNW-app-powerconnect/lookups/
If you have taken a backup of Navigation bar XML as mentioned in Step 1 of this document; kindly compare both the Nav bar XML (old and new) and make a decision if you want to keep old, keep new, or merge (by manually editing the old XML with the new changes)
