CBD upgrade to 2.9

[austin-martinez]

Hello, we currently are running a CBD server on version 2.8.1.20240508. I have noticed that with the current firmware for the cisco switches, that the embedded probes and the virtual machine based probes are not running version 2.9. I am working on planning an upgrade, but we do still have some older legacy probes. Is there any information that could tell me what the oldest CBD probe version that is supported under CBD server v2.9? From here, I can prioritize which probes need to be upgraded before we upgrade our server to keep as many probes functional as possible.

The oldest CBD probe version supported by CBD server 2.9.0 is 2.4.0. For detailed information, please refer to the device support list. Please check the dashboard and probe/agent compatibility table. Although the CBD server version 2.9.0 is not yet in the table, there will be no change regarding this point, and the document update is ongoing. Additionally, the probe version in the latest CBS250/CBS350 firmware 3.5 is already 2.9. It is recommended to update your probe to the latest version whenever possible, as some features may not work with older versions.
