Upgrading MiNiFi C++ agents

Learn how to upgrade your MiNiFi C++ agents.

Stop the previous MiNiFi instance.
Unpack the new assembly.
Copy the following files from the conf directory of the previous instance to the conf directory of the new instance:
- minifi-log.properties
- minifi-uid.properties
- config.yml
- minifi.properties
Migrate the following directories to the root of the new instance:
- content_repository
- flowfile_repository
- provenance_repository
Migrate the following file(s) to the root of the new instance from the root of the previous instance:
- .device_id
Start the new MiNiFi instance.

note
You should add upgraded agents to a new agent class, otherwise new features will not be available for use (for example, commands, processors, and so on). It also helps you to avoid manifest conflicts.
