Since the cookbook itself does not provide an upgrade process, is there a recommended way to go about upgrading?
You can upgrade the collector via the WebUI on the Manage Collection
page
I would guess the reason why there is no upgrade path via chef is that there is a high likelihood of collector compatibility issues (I have tried upgrading in UI and sometimes it works other times not). If we had a good way of doing this I am all ears. What I do in my envs is either UI or relaunch instances (preferable to UI upgrades) so it comes up with the newest collector installed. I realize that not all people using sumologic have the appropriate automation to support just re-launching instances but that should always be the ideal...
We've gotten emails from SumoLogic that we are running outdated Local Collectors on some hosts, but the cookbook apparently doesn't support upgrading installed collectors. Is this a possibility?
