Running the latest EventSentry installer will update an existing installation to the latest 4.2.x build. Prior to running the installer, you should back up your settings (Home > Export in the console) and optionally back up your database. After the setup has completed and all files are updated the configuration assistant will update all configured databases to the latest schema.

Future versions of the EventSentry installer may only support 64-bit platforms. 32-bit platforms can still be monitored with the agent, but all server-side components will only support 64-bit systems. It is recommended to move EventSentry installations to a 64-bit platform in anticipation of this change. |

Support for MySQL has been phased out in v4.2 of EventSentry. Current users of MySQL are highly encouraged to migrate to a different database. See Database for more information on supported database types and versions. |
