Installing or Upgrading the PowerPack

To install version 101 of the "Couchbase" PowerPack, perform the following steps:

By default, when you install a new version of a PowerPack, the new version overwrites all content in that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. To prevent the new PowerPack version from overwriting local changes to some commonly customized fields, use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior).

To install this PowerPack:

  1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page at the ScienceLogic Support Center (Skylar One > PowerPacks).

  2. In Skylar One (formerly SL1), go to the PowerPacksPowerPack Manager page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).

  3. Click the Actions menu and select Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack modal appears.

  4. Click Browse and go to the PowerPack file from step 1.

  5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal displays a list of the PowerPack contents.

  6. Click Install. The PowerPack appears on the PowerPack Manager page.

Once you have completed the installation of version 101 of this PowerPack, it's essential to update the credential associated with all Couchbase instances.

To update the credential associated with all Couchbase instances:

  1. Go to the Credential Management page (System > Manage > Credentials).
  2. Click the wrench icon () for the credential you want to modify. The Credential Editor modal will appear.
  3. Make the following changes in the Credential Editor modal:
     
    • In the Embed Value [%1] field, enter "AuthBasic".
    • Remove any existing headers.

      • In the URL field, the %D variable is not supported, and the IP address or hostname of the server must be in this field.
