Stealthwatch Patches

toyip — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 19:38:20 GMT

I need to apply rollup patches on my customer's Stealthwatch management console (SMC) and their flow collector (FC). The documentation on how to apply patches is very good. However, it doesn't explain how to rollback patches in case installing patches causes some noticeable side effect. How do you rollback or remove a rollup patch?

I tried the backup/restore option by restoring the previous configuration, but the rollup patches were still there.

Just confirmed that installing rollup patches is considered an upgrade. Downgrading to a earlier release version and/or removing rollup patches is not supported due to update changes in data structures and configurations that are required to supported new features installed during the update/patch install.
