Instructions to apply service pack Frequently asked questions

Important notes (pre-upgrade checklist)

The following pre-upgrade notes are mandatory before proceeding.

  • Stop the product service and take a full backup of the installation folder (or a server snapshot). Back up is mandatory so that you can restore the installation to the previous version in case of upgrade failure.
  • Before proceeding with the upgrade, ensure sufficient disk space is available on the server where Log360 is installed.
  • If you use a MS SQL database, take a snapshot of the database as well.
  • If you need to apply more than one service pack, start the application after each service pack upgrade before applying the next.

Step-by-step instructions

Windows

  • 1If running as an application: Start → All Programs → Log360 → Stop Log360.
  • 2If running as a Windows service: Start → Run → type services.msc → Stop ManageEngine Log360.
  • 3Open Command Prompt with administrative privileges.
  • 4Back up Log360 by zipping the contents of the <Log360> directory.
    1. If you are using an external database server (Microsoft SQL), then ensure to take a backup of the database too.
  • 5Navigate to <Log360 Home>\bin folder.
  • 6Run the following commands to ensure complete shutdown:
    1. shutdown.bat
    2. stopDB.bat (if PostgreSQL is the default DB;skip if using MS SQL)
    3. stopSEC.bat

    Note: Steps b and c are applicable only for build 13000 and above.

  • 7Run setAppPermission.bat to apply the required permissions for the currently logged-in Windows user.

    (Note: This script is needed only when using the bundled PostgreSQL configuration.)

  • 8Open Command Prompt and execute UpdateManager.bat under the <Log360>\bin directory.
    1. For Windows Server 2008 and higher with User Account Control (UAC) enabled, start Command Prompt as Administrator (right-click → Run as Administrator).
  • 9Click Browse and select the downloaded PPM file.
  • 10Click Install and wait for the upgrade to complete.
  • 11Do not terminate or interrupt the upgrade process prematurely.
  • 12Click Close and then Exit to quit the Update Manager tool.
  • 13Start the application and check the build number.
    1. If running as an application: Start → All Programs → Log360 → Start Log360
    2. If running as a Windows service: Start → Run → type services.msc → Start ManageEngine Log360

Linux

Please note that these steps are applicable only for Unified Log360 i.e., build 13000 and above.

  • 1Take a back up of the server.

    Stop Log360 using one of the following commands:

    service "ManageEngine SIEM" stop

    OR

    systemctl "ManageEngine SIEM" stop

  • 2From the installation directory (/ManageEngine/Log360/bin), execute the following scripts to ensure the product is completely stopped:
    1. shutdown.sh
    2. stopDB.sh
    3. stopSEC.sh
  • 3Once stopped, execute the Update Manager:
    1. For Linux with GUI: sudo UpdateManager.sh
    2. For CLI-based Linux: sudo UpdateManager.sh -c
  • 4Choose i to initiate PPM installation and specify the path where the PPM file is downloaded (e.g., /home/ubuntu/**.ppm).
  • 5Once the upgrade is successful, start EventLog Analyzer:

    service "ManageEngine SIEM" start

    OR

    systemctl "ManageEngine SIEM" start

Opening Update Manager in Console Mode

Windows:

UpdateManager.bat -c

Linux (Unified Log360 only):

./UpdateManager.sh -c

Once in console mode, the following options are available:

Key Action
i Install a PPM file
c Import Certificate
v View installed ServicePack versions
e Exit

How do I import a certificate?

Download the certificate from one of the links below:

For Unified Log360 only – SHA256 verification: For both ppmsigner_publickey.crt and latest.crt, the SHA256 value is: 2baeaee89ad91824b3ceca55499eebeb7a5c02d4b751bddfa2c2149ea2102155

Console Mode

  • Run the UpdateManager.bat/sh(sh applies only for 13k and above builds) file with -c as a command-line argument.

    Console Mode

  • After invoking UpdateManager in command-line mode, select option c from the list of options to import the certificate. and enter the path of the certificate when requested.

    Console Mode

  • To install a ppm file, type i and press enter. Now enter the path of the ppm file to be installed and press enter.

    Console Mode

  • To view installed service pack version, type v and press enter.

    Console Mode

  • To exit the console mode, type e and press enter.

UI mode:

  • Execute UpdateManager.bat/sh.
  • Open the import certificate tool by clicking the Import Certificate button on the top-left corner.
  • Select the shared certificate using the Browse button to locate the file.
  • Click Import to pull in the certificate and proceed with steps 8-13.

How do I find my current build number?

Log360:

  • Log in to the Log360 web client.
  • Click the License link at the top-right corner.
  • The build number is displayed in the License Details window.

Unified Log360:

  • Open the Log360 web client.
  • Click the ? (question mark) on the right side of the top pane.
  • Select the About option.
  • A pop-up window appears with your EventLog Analyzer version details, including the build number.

Cluster upgrade steps

  • Upgrade order

    Always start with the primary log processor (Log Processor-1). Secondary nodes (Log Processor-2 or Log Processor-3) cannot be upgraded until the primary is upgraded.

  • No mixed versions

    Do not restart or bring the cluster online if log processors are running different versions. Secondary nodes will show a version-mismatch error until they match the primary.

  • Database operations

    Database backup and related operations run only during the primary upgrade. These steps are automatically skipped on secondary nodes to avoid repeated or conflicting changes.

  • Upgrade sequence

    Upgrade each node one at a time in this order:

    • Log Processor-1 (Primary)
    • Log Processor-2 (Secondary)
    • Log Processor-3 (Secondary)

    After all upgrades are complete, restart the cluster in the documented startup order.

  • Post-upgrade checks

    After the cluster restarts:

    • Confirm all Log Processors are online and healthy.
    • Ensure all nodes show the same version.
    • Verify that all services are running as expected.
  • Important notes:

    • Upgrade only one node at a time.
    • Do not run upgrades in parallel.
    • If two PPMs need to be applied, upgrade all nodes sequentially with the first PPM → start the cluster to confirm → stop the cluster → apply the second PPM in the same sequential order.

General notes

  • Do not interrupt or cancel the upgrade process, if the upgrade fails, contact the Log360 support team.
  • Log360 and its components need to be updated to the latest edition for smooth performance.
  • After the upgrade, clear the browser cache or access the application in an incognito/private tab.
