## Upgrading

On this page we will provide information about upgrading from one version to another.

During developing cycle there might be cases where the handling of bugfixes might touch the userspace. This aren't very funny cases but sometime they are not preventable.

### Icinga 0.8.0 to 0.8.1

#### Archived Logfilename Fix

There was a small misspelling bug in Icinga 0.8.0 resulting in archived logfilenames spelled like 'Icinga-$date', with a capital 'i'. This bug was fixed in version 0.8.1.

To recognize these change you should rename your current archived logfiles like this:

    cd /usr/local/icinga/var/archives/
    for oldfilename in `find ./ -name "Icinga-*"`
    do
      newfilename=`echo $oldfilename | sed -e 's/Icinga/icinga/g'`
      mv $oldfilename $newfilename
    done

### Normal upgrade path

Regular updates should be possible by only re-install icinga like your first time.

Read ahead: the section called “Icinga Quickstart” for normal install or the section called “Icinga with IDOUtils Quickstart” for a installation inlcuding the idoutils.
