To make migrating from earlier versions as easy as possible, we have developed a compatibility layer that translates most of the configurable options chart to their new counterparts. This compatibility layer is temporary and will be removed in the future. We encourage you to read this guide carefully and migrate the configuration with human supervision.
Migration to Version 3.xx
To experience the new curated view, you must migrate to version 3.xx of the media agent.
Dual Event Type Complications
There is a chance that after migration, some of your end-users may not have opted for the app upgrade, or very few have. During this interim period, you could experience dual event types, which can be complicated. To manage this:
- Gather all the query and action mappings.
- Inform your end-users that during this interim period, they could see data in multiple events and how they are related.
Important
This applies to the mobile agent. For the browser, it will be upgraded automatically.
Viewing Data Post-Migration
After migration, if you want to see data for the past month, we recommend that you use any custom dashboard or query:
SELECT * FROM pageActionImportant
With name event defination, they loose the dashboard capability for querying the old data.
Event Definition Mapping
A detailed mapping of each old event type with the new one is provided to help you migrate any scripts or workflows. This mapping is crucial for ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining data integrity.
We recommend you carefully follow this guide and ensure that all configurations are migrated with supervision. The compatibility layer is a temporary solution, and it is important to transition to the new configuration as soon as possible.
