NetIQ recommends that you update dashboards and visualizations after upgrading SSDM, so that the enhancements included in the latest version for dashboards and visualizations are applied.
When you upgrade SSDM, dashboards and visualizations are not updated by default. However, you can update them manually after the upgrade. You can update dashboards and visualizations by deleting the existing dashboards and visualizations and running the load_kibana_data.sh script, which installs latest dashboards and visualizations.
IMPORTANT:The customizations you might have done in dashboards and visualizations will be lost when you update dashboards and visualizations.
To update dashboards and visualizations:
Log in to the SSDM web interface and go to Event Visualization.
In Event Visualization, go to Settings > Objects > Dashboards.
Select the dashboards you want to update, and click Delete.
Click Visualizations. Select the visualizations you want to update, and click Delete.
Log out of the SSDM web interface.
Log in to the SSDM server as the novell user.
Go to the /opt/novell/sentinel/bin directory.
Run the load_kibana_data.sh using the following command:
./load_kibana_data.sh http://<Elasticsearch hostname/IP Address>:<Elastic Search port number>
For example:
./load_kibana_data.sh http://127.0.0.1:9200
Log in to the SSDM web interface and go to Event Visualization to view the updated dashboards and visualizations.
