Upgrade Mariadb

Hello,

This is my current environment:

  • Icinga 2 v2.8.1
  • Icinga Web 2 v2.5.1
  • Mariadb 5.5.56

We are planning to upgrade Mariadb to a version > 10.2 and i have the following doubts:

  1. Is it supported with our current Icinga 2 version?
  2. Do we need to also upgrade the Icinga 2 version or we can just upgrade the database and it will be transparent to Icinga?

Thank you very much
Best Regards
Bruno Bispo

Hello,

the mariadb upgrade has nothing to do with icinga. I would recommend to export the databases useing the mysqldump tool and reimport them on the newly installed mariadb 10.2.
I had using mariadb 10.x with no problems in the past.

Regards,
Carsten
