Migration Guides

When upgrading across multiple SigNoz versions, you may encounter required upgrade stops. These are particular versions you must upgrade to before continuing, mainly due to breaking changes or key database schema updates included in those releases.

  • Required upgrade stops include critical schema migrations or breaking change adjustments.
  • At each stop:
    1. Follow the specific upgrade guide.
    2. Wait until all background migrations are finished.
    3. Proceed to the next checkpoint.
  • Skipping a required stop may cause an inconsistent state or upgrade failure.

Example: To upgrade from v0.8.2 to v0.10.0:

  1. Migrate to v0.9, wait until it completes.
  2. Then upgrade to v0.10.
