Data Indexer CentOS to Rocky Upgrades

Due to changes in how CentOS is handled by Red Hat, LogRhythm has opted to change the officially supported Linux distribution to Rocky Linux. Rocky Linux is built from RHEL repositories and is a very comparable and trusted platform. LogRhythm encourages all customers to consider migrating off of CentOS 7, which was considered End Of Life by the Red Hat foundation on June 30, 2024. LogRhythm has published this document to assist with migrations from CentOS to Rocky. As with any OS upgrade, please proceed carefully and ensure that backups or restore points are created to leverage in the event the upgrade fails or is not successful. If you have any questions or concerns about this process, please contact LogRhythm's Customer Success team for clarification or guidance.

Since operating system upgrades carry inherent risks of data loss, it is recommended that you ensure there are backups of your LogRhythm Archives prior to proceeding with any OS upgrade procedure. 

If you're upgrading a RHEL machine, LogRhythm does not provide licensing entitlement or direct support for upgrades of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
