Update the Nodinite Monitoring Service
The Nodinite Monitoring Service is part of the Nodinite Core Services and is updated with them; you don't update it on its own. Follow Updating Nodinite v7: select the environment in the Nodinite Portal, download and extract the ZIP, and run the CLI workflow in an elevated PowerShell 7 prompt.
What You Set for the Monitoring Service in the Portal
An update uses the settings stored for the environment in the Portal. Change them there before you download the package if needed:
| Setting | Where in the Portal |
|---|---|
| Environment to update | Step 1: Basics → Register the environment |
| Monitoring Service port and service identity | Step 4: Servers → Core platform services |
| TLS host name and certificate | Step 4: Servers → Core host Configuration |
What the Update Does for the Monitoring Service
- Step 1: Select Environment and Step 2: Download/Extract ZIP give you the updated package.
- Step 3: Run the CLI workflow (validate, dry-run, deploy) deploys the new Monitoring Service binaries and applies the Portal settings to its IIS web site, together with the other Core Services.
- If the CLI reports locked files, for example in the Monitoring Service folder, see File Locks Detected (
iisreset, then rerun).
Your System Parameters, Monitor Views, Alarm Plugins configuration, and the Alarm Queue are stored in the Configuration Database and are kept.
Tip
Test the update in a non-production environment first, and schedule a Maintenance Mode window so that operators expect the short monitoring gap.
Verify the Monitoring Service
- Check that the Monitoring Service web site and application pool are started in IIS Manager.
- In the Web Client, check the Monitoring Service state in the Status menu and the Monitoring Agents in Administration.
- Check the Alarm Queue for alerts that failed during the update.
Note
Nodinite v6 is no longer supported. To move an existing v6 installation, follow Updating from v6 to v7.
