How to migrate your Auvik Collector from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04

1. Check the current OS version:

lsb_release -a

The output should show version 22.04.

2. Update the agent and any other outdated packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

When prompted, press 'Y' and Enter to confirm the upgrade process.
 

This update should rename the agent package to auvik-agent. You can verify this by running:

dpkg -l auvik-agent

The package should be listed in the output.

3. Proceed with the OS upgrade:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive do-release-upgrade -f DistUpgradeViewNonInteractive

This will launch the upgrade to 24.04 in non-interactive mode and proceed with the default installation.

4. Reboot the VM.

5. Verify the upgraded OS version:

lsb_release -a

6. Modify auvik-agent source configuration:

Ubuntu doesn’t automatically expect noble versions of all packages, so an extra step is required to enable future APT updates for the auvik-agent.

Run the following commands:

sudo sed -i 's/jammy/noble/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/auvik-agent.list.distUpgrade
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/auvik-agent.list.distUpgrade /etc/apt/sources.list.d/auvik-agent.list
sudo systemctl enable --now auvik-agent
