ServAssure NXT upgrade procedure
Last Updated: June 30, 2026
  1. If utilizing ServAssure Metrics Platform, disable alerts on the Grafana alert dashboard for each platform (NXT Engine, NXT UI, NXT API, Cassandra, Solr, TrapReceiver, etc.)
  2. Use the ServAssure NXT Management UI to turn off Ingest Mode for ALL tenants on the running ServAssure NXT cluster.
  3. On your Ansible host, navigate to the nxt-ansible-2.14.x.x directory.
  4. Use the command ansible-playbook -i <pathInventoryFile> site-upgrade.yml to upgrade ServAssure NXT.

    The ServAssure NXT application is now ready.

    NOTE: If your installation has multiple inventory files, typically for multiple sites, run this command for each one.
  5. Use the ServAssure NXT Management UI to turn on the ingest function for ALL tenants.
NOTE: Always use an Ansible script to restart Cassandra when a restart is necessary. This is especially important after an upgrade; the Ansible script executes the proper steps to disable and drain cached data prior to shutdown to ensure data integrity. Data loss can occur if Cassandra is shutdown without these steps.
