The Software page provides information about the Logmanager system status and enables you to manage updates, restarts, and shutdowns.
Software management interface
The section Info displays the following system details:
- Platform: The underlying platform running the Logmanager server.
- Serial number: The unique hardware or virtual identification number of the system.
- Current version: The version of the software currently running.
- Next boot version: The version that will load upon the next system start (relevant after performing an update).
To update Logmanager to the latest version, follow these steps:
- Click Check for update to query the update server.
- If a new version is available, the Install update button appears.
- If no updates are available, a notification message confirms the system is up to date.
- Click Install update to begin the installation process.
- After the installation completes, click Restart to reboot the server and apply the new version.
If you must revert to a previous software version, see the Logmanager Software downgrade guide for specific instructions and precautions.
Use the control buttons to manage the power state of the server:
- Restart: Performs a graceful reboot of the operating system and Logmanager services.
- Shut down: Power off the server.
Shutting down the server will stop all log collection and processing until the system is manually powered on again.
