You can upgrade PostgreSQL from the InsightVM Administration page.

I did the update last week! It worked without any issues.

So it handles the upgrade and install? You just need to do the backup?

Yes. I had to create a backup (and I created a backup schedule while I was in there). Once the backup was completed, I was able to initiate the PostgreSQL upgrade.

If an upgrade is available, it should show up on your InsightVM Administration page and you should have received an in-app notification about it as well.

Perfect. That seemed to be what I was missing. Maybe it was just me but it didn’t seem to be clear that it would handle everything for the upgrade.

Everything was done via the InsightVM UI. Apparently I linked the wrong guide previously; sorry for the confusion.
