If the above method of upgrade fails, try the steps below:
- Download the suitable upgrade package:

Linux: /opt/Site24x7OnPremisePoller - Extract the downloaded zip file in the root of the On-Premise Poller installation directory mentioned above.
- There may be existing files. If you're prompted to overwrite existing files, overwrite them.
- If the logs.old directory exists, move the logs directory to the logs.old directory. If the logs.old directory do not exist, rename the logs directory to logs.old directory. This ensures that only the new version's logs are present in the logs directory.
- Change the JRE for On-Premise Poller versions below 5.0.0 by renaming the directories, jre to jre.old and jre_latest to jre
- (Optional) If the reports.old directory exists, move the reports directory to the reports.old directory. If the reports.old directory do not exist, rename the reports directory to reports.old directory. On moving, monitoring data pending to be sent to Site24x7 servers will be lost.
