I would like to upgrade FortiSIEM from 6.7.5 to 7, do we have first to upgrade the linux os from centos to rockey or this will already be done when we do the upgrade steps ?

You can upgrade from 6.7.5 straight to 7.0.0

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortisiem/7.0.0/upgrade-guide/505373/upgrading-to-fortisiem-7-x-x

FSM 6.7.x runs on Rocky Linux, so there is no migration from CentOS to Rocky needed.

HI,
I would like to upgrade from version 6.6 to version 7 as well. I believe I just need to do a regular upgrade, but according to the link you shared, it seems very complicated. I'm not sure which steps to follow and which ones I can skip. Is there a simple user guide available for a regular upgrade?

Hi JohnCheong,

It depends on your setup. If you have NFS or local database, it's just uploading zip, extract, and run FSM upgrade shell.

If you are using Elastic or ClickHouse, you may need to consider other steps as well, that's the reason why this is such a large document. Usually, when you are using one of these databases, you have some experience in these deployments, so it's not that complicated either.

I suppose, you will only need to jump right into Upgrade 6.x Single Node Deployment or Upgrade 6.x Cluster Deployment.

I did not experience any major issues with upgrading in little steps yet, so just note that the upgrade will take some time.

How do you proceed with your collector upgrade?
is it via GUI?

Uploaded the bundle in supervisor
And upgrade the collector via ADMIN > HEALTH > COLLECTOR HEALTH?

Thanks

Yes, you can do it on the interface. On FSM 7.x you can even upload on the GUI.

You might want to follow this guide here.

Hi Chris,
Is the collector image to be uploaded via the GUI the same file that I used to upgrade the Supervisor and worker? The file: FSM_Upgrade_All_7.0.2_build0043.zip.

Hi @Jesisidabuliu ,

There is no option to shutdown workers from GUI.

You can use below command to stop processes and then shutdown from worker CLI:

# phxctl stop

# shutdown -h now
