On Monday, March 2, 2020, Cisco Umbrella will release Virtual Appliance (VA) version 2.7.9 and version 2.7.10 to the final wave of the production track. These VAs will upgrade from version 2.6.2 to version 2.7.9 and 2.7.10 in quick succession.
Note: VA version 2.7.10 is a patch release and will not cause the VA to restart.
Important Notice: If you are using SNMP to monitor disk utilization on the VA, please note that the OID for disk utilization is changed in version 2.7.9. You will need to start monitoring the new OID as mentioned below.
SNMP OID for disk utilization:
Version 2.7.6 and prior: .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.9.1.9.9
Version 2.7.9 and above: .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.3.2.4.1.2.9.100.105.115.107.117.115.97.103.101
The threshold for monitoring remains the same i.e. if the value returned on querying this OID is consistently greater than 0.8, then this indicates that the VA is running out of disk space.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Customer VAs may upgrade over a period of days as opposed to consecutively upgrading one after another. To receive this upgrade, ensure that your firewall is configured to enable access to disthost.umbrella.com.
As a reminder, two VAs must be configured in order to upgrade automatically during these windows.
