Special Steps for Users of Kibana in Non-Appliance Installation

1. DPOD 1.0.15.0 introduces Expert Mode dashboards which are based on OpenSearch Dashboards.

2. If Kibana is installed on your non-appliance installation, please continue with the below steps.

3. Backup the existing configuration by exporting the saved objects of Kibana.

4. Uninstall Kibana rpm from DPOD server (in a Cell environment, this would be the cell manager).

5. Perform the upgrade to DPOD 1.0.15.0. The upgrade will fail if it detects an existing installation of Kibana.

6. After the upgrade is complete, if the previous Kibana dashboards have not been preserved and you would like to keep them, import the Kibana backup to Expert Mode dashboards.

Additional Setup of Store Permissions in Non-Appliance Installation

1. In case the operating system of DPOD is using a restrictive umask (e.g.: 077), the Store services might not start successfully after the upgrade completes, due to insufficient permissions of the directory /app/opensearch_nodes and /app/java.

2. If the Store services do not start successfully in your non-appliance installation after the upgrade, please continue with the below steps.

3. Apply the following command:

   chown -R --reference /app/opensearch_base /app/opensearch_nodes
   chmod 755 /app/java

4. Start the Store services (e.g. by using app-util.sh or the Admin Console) and make sure they are up and running correctly.
