Smart Monitor Update
This instruction describes the process of updating Smart Monitor from version 6.0.* to 6.1.*.
For correct operation of notes and other functionality, you need to create directory $OS_HOME/uploads on Smart Monitor Data Storage nodes, change permissions for the user under which Smart Monitor Data Storage operates, and connect a shared network folder to this directory. Refer to setup article
Information
Conditional designations:
SM_INSTALLER- directory where Smart Monitor installation package version 6.1 is extractedUSER- system user with administrator rights, usuallyadminOS_HOME- OpenSearch home directory, usually/app/opensearch/OS_DATA- directory where indexed data is stored, usually/app/data/opensearchOS_IP- IP address of one of the OpenSearch cluster serversOSD_HOME- OpenSearch Dashboards home directory, usually/app/opensearch-dashboards/PATH_SSL- location of certificate, privateadminkey, andca-cert, usually coincides with/app/opensearch/config/
The primary step for updating is determining the currently installed Smart Monitor version. This can be done by viewing module versions on the main page or executing a command in the command line:
curl https://$OS_IP:9200/_cat/plugins -k -u $USER
After entering this command, you will need to enter the password for the $USER account. It is recommended to use the admin user.
Detailed list of new features can be viewed in the article What's New in Smart Monitor 6.1.
Let's consider the update procedure for each component. Installer 6.1 needs to be extracted to a directory, for example, /app/distr/.
Before starting work, it is strictly recommended to make a backup of main configuration files and Security settings.
Recommended Actions
It is recommended to create a directory, for example, /app/backup, where you should save:
-
configdirectory, usually$OS_HOME/configor$OSD_HOME/config -
systemdfiles, usually/etc/systemd/system/opensearch.serviceand/etc/systemd/system/opensearch-dashboards.service,/etc/systemd/system/sme-re.service -
file
/etc/sysctl.d/00-opensearch.conf -
Security settings backup, this needs to be done once, for which you will need the certificate and private
adminuser key (the command below will create a directory with the current date with OpenSearch security settings)chmod +x $OS_HOME/plugins/opensearch-security/tools/securityadmin.sh
JAVA_HOME=$OS_HOME/jdk/ $OS_HOME/plugins/opensearch-security/tools/securityadmin.sh -backup /app/backup/security_$(date +%Y%m%d) \
-icl \
-nhnv \
-cacert $OS_HOME/config/ca-cert.pem \
-cert $OS_HOME/config/admin-cert.pem \
-key $OS_HOME/config/admin-key.pem
OpenSearch Update
Smart Monitor 6.1 installer needs to be extracted to a directory, for example, /app/distr/. Mark where you extract the archive contents as $SM_INSTALLER.
tar xzf smart-monitor-installer-*.tar.gz -C /app/distr/
SM_INSTALLER=/app/distr/sm_6.1
For clusters consisting of multiple nodes, it is recommended to disable allocation before updating through the developer console (Navigation Menu - Settings - Developer Console) by executing the command:
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "none"
}
}
You can do the same thing from the terminal with the following command:
curl -XPUT -k -u admin "https://$OS_IP:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"persistent":{"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "none"}}'
When updating cluster nodes, do not use allocation disablement with the update script. After updating all cluster nodes, enable allocation:
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "all"
}
}
You can do the same thing from the terminal with the following command:
curl -XPUT -k -u admin "https://$OS_IP:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"persistent":{"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "all"}}'
Automatic Mode
The script requires the following pre-installed packages to work:
curlzipunzip
If at the end you don't see the inscription that Smart Monitor has been updated, do not run the update script again, take a screenshot of where the script stopped and contact technical support.
The script automates the update process and is located at $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch/setup.sh. To update, either pass the update action when running the script, or run the script without arguments and select the appropriate option from the interactive menu:
Select action [default: update]:
1) install
2) update
3) uninstall
Action [update]:
The script supports the following startup parameters:
<action>- action to perform:install,update, oruninstall-c, --config <path_to_config_file_yaml>- specify configuration file for update-h, --help- displays help on available commands
Example configuration file: $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch/example_config_opensearch.yaml. The YAML file format is similar to the configuration file used during installation.
Start updating with nodes without master role, data nodes can connect to older versions of master nodes, but not vice versa.
To start the update, run the script:
$SM_INSTALLER/opensearch/setup.sh update
After launching, the script automatically finds the paths of main directories:
OpenSearch Home Directory- OpenSearch installation directory, usually/app/opensearchOpenSearch Conf Directory- OpenSearch configuration files directory, usually/app/opensearch/config/OpenSearch Data Directory- data directory, usually/app/data/OpenSearch Logs Directory- logs directory, usually/app/logs/
The update script does not perform any actions with data and logs directories, and configuration files directory and systemd files will be saved to temporary directory $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch/staging/.
If you run the script again, the staging directory will be cleared along with all copied configuration files directory and systemd files.
================================================================================
SMART MONITOR UPDATE SCRIPT - OPENSEARCH
================================================================================
Current working directory: /app/distr/sm_6.1/opensearch
Current name of install's archive: opensearch-3.5.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
New version OpenSearch: 3.5.0
================================================================================
-- STEP 1. INSTALLATION DIRECTORIES
opensearch.service file found. Will get necessary paths from there
Final Opensearch home directory: /app/opensearch
Final Opensearch conf directory: /app/opensearch/config
Final Opensearch data directory: /app/data/opensearch
Final Opensearch logs directory: /app/logs/opensearch
Is this correct? [y/n]:
After entering directories, you need to confirm the automatically found data by pressing y, or enter your directories manually by pressing n.
On the second step, you need to answer the question about using a user during the update. If no additional information output is required, enter n, if additional information output is required, enter y.
User can be used for information output or for allocation management, accordingly different sets of permissions are required. For simple information output, sa-monitoring role permissions are sufficient.
-- STEP 2. GET USER
Do you want to see cluster information or manage allocation? [Y/n] :
================================================================================
Your account must have role "sa-monitoring"
Your account must have permission "cluster:admin/settings/update" for manage allocation
================================================================================
Enter username: admin
Enter password for user "admin":
Is this correct? [y/n]:
On the next step, you can disable all operations requiring privilege escalation to root user.
It is impossible to completely perform the update without root privileges, part of operations need to be performed as root user, then run the installer as the user under which OpenSearch operates, after the script finishes, some operations need to be performed again as root user. The list of operations will be displayed in the installer.
If commands are not executed before updating, data loss is possible.
You can run the installer as opensearch user with the following command:
sudo -u opensearch $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch/setup.sh update
The first question will be about disabling commands requiring privilege escalation to root user.
Then you need to enter the user and group under which OpenSearch operates.
Next, information will be displayed with a list of operations that need to be performed before running the update script.
-- STEP 3. DISABLE OPERATIONS WHERE ROOT RIGHTS ARE REQUIRED
Want to update SMART MONITOR without root privileges? [y/N]: y
Final you set the non-root flag to: y
Linux username for SMART MONITOR [opensearch]:
Linux groupname for SMART MONITOR [opensearch]:
Final SMART MONITOR username: opensearch
Final SMART MONITOR groupname: opensearch
Is this correct? [Y/n]:
ATTENTION!
Before updating SMART MONITOR, you must run the following commands as a user with root privileges.
If you need to disable allocation, run the following command:
curl -XPUT -k -u YOUR_USER_OPENSEARCH:YOUR_USER_OPENSEARCH_PASSWORD_HERE "https://YOUR_IP_OPENSEARCH:9200/_cluster/settings?pretty" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"persistent":{"cluster.routing.allocation.enable": "none"}}'
Change user, group and directories as needed
systemctl stop sme-re
systemctl stop opensearch
chown -R opensearch:opensearch /app/opensearch /app/opensearch/config /app/data/opensearch /app/logs/opensearch /app/distr/sm_6.1/opensearch
!!! Are you sure you have done everything from the list above? [y/N]:
At the end, you need to confirm that all commands were executed as root user. Enter y to confirm or the update will be aborted.
On the next step, if user usage was selected during the update, you need to answer the allocation question. If you enter y, the script will disable allocation before updating and enable it at the end of script operation.
-- STEP 4. CONFIGURE ALLOCATION
Do you want to disable allocation during update? [y/N]: n
You don't want to disable allocation: n
Is this correct? [y/n]:
Then preparatory actions will be performed before updating, before applying the update, a question about continuing will be asked, until this moment no actions affecting system operability are performed. Also, some information about the current node and cluster as a whole will be displayed, if user usage was selected on the second step.

-- For further instructions, please refer to the documentation: https://docs.smartmonitor.ru
================================================================================
If updating without using commands requiring privilege escalation to root user was selected, an informational block with a list of commands that need to be executed as root user will be displayed.
If for some reason the update script could not update some plugins, it will additionally display information about these plugins at the end, as in the example above (text The following plugins cannot be installed).
:::warning[Attention!] The update script takes into account the current list of installed plugins on OpenSearch nodes. If you need to install some plugin additionally, the action should be performed manually at the end of node updating. :::
Smart Monitor Web Update
The script requires the following pre-installed packages to work:
curlzipunzip
The script automates the update process and is located at $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch-dashboards/setup.sh. To update, either pass the update action when running the script, or run the script without arguments and select the appropriate option from the interactive menu:

Example configuration file: $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch-dashboards/example_config_dashboards.yaml. The YAML file format is similar to the configuration file used during installation.
The script creates backup copies of the systemd service file, opensearch-dashboards.yml, and the configuration directory in the temporary $SM_INSTALLER/opensearch-dashboards/staging/ directory. The script does not modify the data or logs directories.
If the script is run again, the staging directory is cleared and the previous backup is lost. If you need the backup, copy it from this directory before rerunning the script.
To update, run the script:
$SM_INSTALLER/opensearch-dashboards/setup.sh update
The script will automatically determine the main paths of the current server to the following directories:

Post-Update Actions
Lookup Manager
After the update, manually remove the obsolete lookup creation page from the main menu.
- Go to
Main Menu-System Settings-Module Settings-Main-Menu Settings - Expand the
Lookup Managergroup with the system namelookup-manager - Click the trash icon next to the
Lookup Creationpage - Click
Save Changes
After removal, only the Lookup List page should remain in the Lookup Manager group.
Updating the peval Function
To update the peval random function, run the following request in the Dev Console (Main Menu - System Settings - Dev Console):
POST _core/migration/6.1.0/peval_random_migration
Incident Manager Migration
If the Incident Manager module is not installed, proceed to the next step.
Migrating the fields Field from object to flat_object for .smos_incident-* Indexes
After migrating the fields field from object to flat_object, the fields.* fields in the .smos_incident-* index will no longer be available for aggregations.
The migration changes the fields field type from object to flat_object in all indexes whose names match the .smos_incident-* pattern. The operation runs asynchronously. After it starts, the request returns a migration_id, which is used to track the status and perform subsequent operations.
The migration also:
- stores service records in the
.sm_fields_flat_object_migrationindex - creates the
sm_incidents_templateOpenSearch index template, which sets thefieldsfield type toflat_objectin new indexes
To view the template, go to System Settings - Index Management - Templates.
Prerequisites
Before starting the migration, make sure that:
- Sufficient shard capacity is available. During migration, the source and backup indexes exist at the same time, so the number of shards associated with the migrated indexes temporarily increases approximately twofold. If there are many indexes, the
cluster.max_shards_per_nodesetting or another cluster shard limit may be exceeded
Check the current settings and shard status:
GET /_cluster/settings?include_defaults=true&filter_path=**.max_shards*
GET /_cat/shards?v&h=index,state,docs,store
For instructions on resolving shard limit errors, see Errors While Processing Specific Indexes.
- The cluster is operational. The cluster status must be
greenoryellow. Do not start the migration if the status isred
GET _cluster/health
-
No other migration is active. Only one migration can run at a time. An attempt to start a second migration returns an error
-
Sufficient disk space is available. During migration, the source and backup indexes exist at the same time, so their peak disk usage may be approximately twice the original size. The available disk space must be at least equal to the current size of the data being migrated. Allow additional space for segments, service data, and concurrent write operations
-
No indexes are blocked. Make sure none of the indexes being migrated have the
read-only,read_only_allow_delete, orwriteblock enabled. Run the following request to check:
GET .smos_incident-*/_settings/index.blocks*
- No backup indexes from a previous migration remain. Before starting, check for indexes with the
.backup-.smos_incident-prefix:
GET /_cat/indices/.backup-.smos_incident-*?v
Do not delete the indexes until you have confirmed that they are not associated with an active migration and are not the only remaining copy of the data.
- The user has sufficient permissions. The user on whose behalf the migration runs must have permissions to:
- read and write documents
- create and delete indexes
- read and modify index mappings and settings
- create or update an index template
Migration Procedure
The migration must be performed on an index that is not being modified. Therefore, you can run the migration in one of two ways:
- Stop all writes to the
.smos_incident-*indexes and run the migration according to the instructions below. In this case, the index template is loaded automatically. - Manually run the following request to load the index template:
POST /_core/migration/6.1.0/im_reload_template
Wait until the beginning of the next week. New indexes will then be created with the correct mapping, after which the old indexes can be migrated. Run the migration according to the instructions below.
Migration Instructions
- Start the migration
POST /_core/migration/6.1.0/im_fields_to_flat_object
The response returns the migration identifier. Save the migration_id value because it is required for monitoring and subsequent operations.
{
"migration_id": "Pte3ZJ8BL4fIwRYMyNYo",
"status": "ACCEPTED"
}
- Monitor the migration
GET /_core/migration/6.1.0/im_fields_to_flat_object/{migration_id}
The status field in the response can have the following values:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
ACCEPTED | The migration has been accepted but has not started |
RUNNING | Indexes are being processed |
COMPLETED | All indexes have been migrated successfully |
COMPLETED_WITH_ERRORS | Some indexes were migrated, while others failed |
FAILED | The migration could not start |
The indices field contains the status of each index:
| Index Status | Description |
|---|---|
RUNNING | The index is being processed |
COMPLETED | The index was migrated successfully |
SKIPPED | The index was skipped |
FAILED | An error occurred while processing it |
The errors_by_index field contains a detailed error description for each index.
Wait for one of the following final statuses:
- for
COMPLETED, proceed to verify the results and clean up - for
COMPLETED_WITH_ERRORS, reviewerrors_by_index, restore or reprocess the affected indexes, and then perform cleanup - for
FAILED, resolve the cause of the error before restarting the migration
- Clean up after a successful migration
After receiving the COMPLETED status, check the mapping and document count for each migrated index:
GET .smos_incident-*/_mapping?filter_path=*.mappings.properties.fields
GET .backup-.smos_incident-*/_mapping?filter_path=*.mappings.properties.fields
GET /<index_name>/_count
GET /.backup-<index_name>/_count
After the migration is complete, delete the backup copies after confirming that they do not contain the only remaining copy of the data:
DELETE /_core/migration/6.1.0/im_fields_to_flat_object/{migration_id}/backups
Delete the service records associated with this migration from the .sm_fields_flat_object_migration index. Run this request after deleting the backup copies. Backup copies of indexes whose migration failed are not deleted.
DELETE /_core/migration/6.1.0/im_fields_to_flat_object/{migration_id}/cleanup
Potential Errors and Solutions
Errors Before Index Processing Starts
- Error creating or updating the template
Cause. The user has insufficient permissions, index creation is blocked at the cluster level, or the existing template conflicts with the template being created.
Solution. Check the existing template and the user's permissions. Do not delete the existing template until you have confirmed that it is not used by other indexes or system components. After resolving the cause, restart the migration.
- Another migration is already running
Cause. A migration with a different migration_id is already running.
Solution. Check the status of the active migration:
GET /_core/migration/6.1.0/im_fields_to_flat_object/{migration_id}
Errors While Processing Specific Indexes
When an error occurs, the index receives the FAILED status and the migration continues processing the remaining indexes.
- Reindexing errors
Possible causes include insufficient resources during reindexing or a document count mismatch after reindexing is complete. Depending on the migration stage, the data is located in either the source or backup index. Review the error details in errors_by_index, and restart the migration.
- Error while creating the migrated index
This error occurs if the source index was deleted but the new index was not created or reindexing into it was not completed. All data is stored in the .backup-<index_name> backup index.
Required actions:
-
Make sure that the backup index exists and contains data:
GET .backup-<index_name>/_count -
Manually create the source index with the required mapping and reindex the data from the backup:
POST _reindex
{
"source": { "index": ".backup-<index_name>" },
"dest": { "index": "<index_name>" }
}
If the index being migrated contains a large amount of data, create an index with the original mapping and restart the migration after resolving the cause of the error.
- Shard count limit exceeded
Cause. The cluster shard limit described in Prerequisites has been exceeded.
Solution. Free unused shards or temporarily increase the corresponding limit. If cluster operating policies do not allow the limit to be increased, restart the migration until all indexes have been processed. Before each restart, delete the backup copies of successfully migrated indexes.
- Scroll context expired
Cause. Reindexing is performed in batches using the Scroll API. If processing the next batch takes longer than the Scroll context lifetime, OpenSearch deletes the context and the operation fails.
Solution. Reduce the cluster load. After the current migration stops, delete the incomplete backup index and restart the migration.
- Index skipped
The cause is specified in the message field. An index is usually skipped if the fields field is missing or already has the flat_object type.
- Backup index already exists
Cause. A previous migration failed after creating the backup index but before deleting it.
Solution.
- make sure that no other migration is running
- check the existence and contents of the corresponding backup index
- delete the backup index only if it does not contain the only remaining copy of the data
- restart the migration
- Index is blocked
Solution. If necessary, remove the write or metadata modification blocks configured for the index.
Errors After Migration Completion
- Backup copies cannot be deleted.
If the deletion request returns errors in the errors field, resolve them or delete the backup indexes manually:
DELETE /.backup-<index_name>
- The service index cannot be cleaned up.
If the request fails, you can delete the records manually. Before deleting them, make sure that the migration completed successfully:
POST /.sm_fields_flat_object_migration/_delete_by_query
{
"query": {
"term": { "migration_id.keyword": "<migration_id>" }
}
}
Configuring SLA Scripts
To run the selected scripts in SLA policies, specify the Smart Monitor URL in the cluster settings:
PUT _cluster/settings
{
"persistent": {
"sm.im.adhoc.url": "https://example.com:8080"
}
}
IM: Content Configuration

To view the SLA statistics dashboard, the user must have the search permission for the .sm_im_sla_states-* index.
RSM
If you have purchased a Service Monitor Toolkit license, proceed to the next step.
Starting with this release, the RSM 1.0 module is no longer supported. In the remainder of this documentation, RSM refers to RSM 2.0. Before migrating and updating, make sure that the data has been migrated successfully and is no longer associated with the RSM 1.0 module.
If you have not previously created a menu for RSM, create a navigation menu item to add the new module. Go to Main Menu - System Settings - Module Settings - Main - Menu Settings, and click Add Module. If the RSM module already exists, rename it according to the settings below.
Complete the module fields as follows:
| Field Name | Value |
|---|---|
| Item Type | Group |
| Title | RSM |
| System Name | rsm |
| Enable Display | Yes, the checkbox must be selected |
If you have a menu item associated with the first version of RSM, delete it.
