For all supported Linux distributions, we offer official repositories which simplify the installation of upgrades.
For Ubuntu, Debian and RedHat family of distributions, if you use the standard way to upgrade all system packages, FastNetMon will be upgraded too.
You will find detailed information about latest versions of FastNetMon at GitHub.
We strongly recommend doing a full backup of the server to external storage before upgrading to avoid data loss. In addition, we recommend doing a full export of FastNetMon's configuration and saving it on an external server.
To upgrade FastNetMon Advanced on any supported Linux distribution, you can use our installer tool:
wget https://install.fastnetmon.com/installer -Oinstaller sudo chmod +x installer sudo ./installer -upgrade_fastnetmon_advanced
Alternatively, to upgrade only FastNetMon to the latest version on Ubuntu or Debian, you need to use the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade fastnetmon
On RedHat family you can use the following command:
sudo yum update fastnetmon
After this, you can perform an optional step and add new configuration parameters:
sudo fcli upgrade_configuration
After finishing the upgrade, we recommend checking that FastNetMon daemon is running using the following command:
sudo systemctl status fastnetmon
Also, we recommend checking that FastNetMon sees all the traffic:
sudo fcli show total_traffic_counters
In case of any issues with FastNetMon, please start checking from the log file /var/log/fastnetmon/fastnetmon.log. Our support team will be happy to help you with any issues.
If your server uses an offline license and does not have access to the Internet, you can download RPM and DEB packages manually here. You can find the latest version of FastNetMon via this link. Please ensure that you use packages for your version of Linux distribution.
After downloading packages manually, you need to install them in the following way on Debian and Ubuntu Linux:
sudo dpkg -i fastnetmon.deb
On RedHat-based systems, you need to use the following command:
sudo yum install ./fastnetmon.rpm
FastNetMon relies on MongoDB for configuration storage, and it may be affected by an upgrade. We recommend checking MongoDB integration guide to find out options to address any MongoDB-related issues.
Visual graphs system uses Grafana, InfluxDB, Nginx and Clickhouse. Each of them needs to be upgraded too, and we recommend doing it as part of a system-wide upgrade. If the upgrade procedure asks you about configuration changes, you need to keep the old configuration.
