Upgrade zabbix-agent package from 4.4 to 5.0 - Do i need to remove the 4.4 first ?

[bingo600]

I have just upgraded my Zabbix server from 4.4 to 5.0.
On my pfSense firewalls i have the zabbix-agent 4.4 package installed , but would like to upgrade it to 5.0.

I can see the 5.0 package in the "Available packets" , but i don't know if i can select that directly , and it will replace the 4.4 packet.
Or if i have to remove the 4.4 package (praying it keeps the package configs) , and then install the 5.0 package ?

Any tips would be appreciated.

Well i removed the old 4.4 package , and installed the 5.0 package.

Settings seems to have been kept

Seems like pfSense or the service watchdog was confused by the install.

I kept getting mails , that service watchdog was starting the Zabbix agent , and it was not running if showing status --> services.

System log seemed to indicate that it was installed ok.

I went to the Services --> Zabbix Agent , and disabled the service
Waited 10 sec , and enabled the service

Problem gone , service is running

Maybe disable the service , before packet uninstall
And enable the service after installing the new version of the package
