Upgrading MariaDB MaxScale from 2.2 to 2.3

This document describes possible issues when upgrading MariaDB MaxScale from version 2.2 to 2.3.

For more information about MariaDB MaxScale 2.3, please refer to the ChangeLog.

Before starting the upgrade, we recommend you back up your current configuration file.

passwd is no longer accepted

In the configuration file, passwords for monitors and services must be specified using password; the support for the earlier deprecated passwd has been removed. That is, the following

[The-Service]
type=service
passwd=some-service-password
...

[The-Monitor]
type=monitor
passwd=some-monitor-password
...

must be changed to

[The-Service]
type=service
password=some-service-password
...

[The-Monitor]
type=monitor
password=some-monitor-password
...
