Upgrade to actual RHEL release 7.7

[antonis_phinic]

The Extended Update Support for RHEL systems running version 7.5 will end on April 30 2020. In order to have support for the RHEL of the CSI, I have to upgrade to actual RHEL release 7.7.  If I can proceed please provide all necessary details in order to proceed with the upgrade.

In addition I would like to know If there is a way to send an email notification to a specific email address when a new version of a specific software detected by CSI/SVM is available ?

Thanks

Hi Antonis,

Here's a basic guide in this KB:

https://community.flexera.com/t5/Software-Vulnerability-Manager/SVM-On-Prem-RPM-Upgrade-Tasks-List/ta-p/4956

Note:

It's advised to make backups of your databases and conf files.

Such as:

/etc/my.cnf

/usr/local/Secunia/csi/api/config/config.common.ini

/usr/local/Secunia/csi/api/config/config.ini

And it's also advised to upgrade to PHP7 and MariaDB 10.3 for the latest version of SVM.

I hope that helps.

Thank you.

As for:
"email notification to a specific email address when a new version of a specific software detected"

A smart group notification may be the closest you'll get. You can send out notifications when Number of Products in a Smart group increases.

If you're looking for more features, Software Vulnerability Research may be worth looking into:
