Looking for reassurance before upgrading 7.1.1 to 8.0

After reading of problems both here and on github, can anyone confirm a successful upgrade from 7.1.1 to 8.0 using the "Upgrade Now" button on the Dashboard?

Sorry for my english..

I managed to update 4 servers.
The problems I encountered were solved - in version 7.1.1 I installed the package  ( you need to install, if skip = problems with upgrade)
apt-get install unattended-upgrades apt-listchanges
dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades

Now using "upgrade now". If it finish, restart and check mysql is working:
systemctl status mysql.service

If not -> sudo mkdir -p /var/log/mysql/
sudo chown mysql:mysql -R /var/log/mysql
systemctl start mysql.service.

Thanks! I managed to update but it was not straightforward some packaged where left broken but i forced them to install and that worked for me. I noticed after update ubuntu and Zentyal 8.0 my CPU usage whas high almost 90 percent and it was caused by loggerd so i disabled all logs in Zentyal and the problem was gone. Think there must be a Bug with Zentyal log module?

I have it checked in the log configuration :access to samba, administration session, vpn. Try turning off others. CPU usage is  - one server ~40-55% ( primary - top display cpu use - user ~`1-10%, sys - 1-17%, idle 70-96% ), additional 3-10% . Next primary server 30-50% ( top display cpu use - user ~`1-10%, sys - 1-17%).

Maybe its bug in display ? Try in console : top

Hi,

Thank you zyzio for the help you provided. I have updated the following post that is related to the upgrade from 7.1 to 8.0:

- https://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,35671.msg115819.html#new

Regarding the CPU load, a few questions:

1. Do you have any LOG rules in the firewall? If so, how many and what are their configurations?
2. What ‘domains’ do you have enabled in the Log module?
3. Are you using the domain controller module?
4. Did you analyze the log file /var/log/syslog? You might have lots of entries like ‘zentyal-firewall’ or ‘smbd_audit’.
5. If you run the command htop or htop, what are the processes that are consuming the CPU?

Best regards, Daniel Joven.
