Upgrading the Classic OpsRamp Gateway is a critical process that involves updating the existing Gateway environment to improve performance, introduce new features, address security vulnerabilities, and ensure compatibility with the latest technologies and operating systems. Keeping your OpsRamp Gateway up to date is essential for maintaining system stability, leveraging recent enhancements, and receiving ongoing support. This guide outlines the upgrade types, supported versions, and recommended upgrade paths.

Types of Gateway Upgrades

OpsRamp offers two types of Gateway Upgrades, and the upgrade process may vary based on the type:

1. Gateway Application Upgrade
   Involves updating the Gateway software along with applying necessary OS patches and security updates without replacing the underlying appliance or server. This method retains your current infrastructure while bringing the application environment up to date.
2. Gateway Appliance Upgrade
