The upgrade process imports existing policies to the latest version of GFI WebMonitor. However, the list of policies will be different.

• Web Filtering policies – for a WebFiltering policy 2013 that has both block and warn actions set, after the upgrade there will be two corresponding policies:

• WebFiltering policy 2013 - block - this will contain the blocked categories, the sites from Always Blocked section and the Reputation Index.
• WebFiltering policy 2013 - warn - this will have Warn action and the corresponding categories.
• Both policies will have the settings that were configured in the previous version: Notification, Logging enabled and Schedule. The policy with Block action has the higher priority.

• Web Browsing policies – existing web browsing policies are imported with the same settings.
• Web Security policies – for an existing Web security policy that has both block and warn actions set, after the upgrade there will be two new corresponding policies. Additionally, if in the existing policy there are file types with download window enabled and others that do not, after the upgrade these will be separated into two policies, one with AV Scanning and Download Window enabled and one with only AV Scanning.
• Streaming Media and Instant Messaging – Existing Streaming Media and Instant Messaging policies will be imported into a new policy with Block action and corresponding applications added.
• ThreatTrack and AntiPhishing – If at least one of these features was enabled in the previous version, a new policy with Block action and URLUniform Resource Locator. Scanning enabled is added after the upgrade. Since ThreatTrack and AntiPhishing are no longer separated, both features will be enabled in the latest version.

The Activity Logging settings in the latest version of GFI WebMonitor are different than version 2013 and previous versions. This feature is now integrated in the new policy builder, using the Logging element. Therefore, if your current installation contains Activity Logging policies, note that no corresponding policy is added after the upgrade.

In previous versions, Monitor, Bandwidth and Security Alerts could be set up from a separate location to apply to all policies. In the latest GFI WebMonitor version, these are now configured per policy using the Log Alert element. The upgrade process can import some existing alerts with a few exceptions as detailed below:

• Existing Monitoring Alerts that were set for Sites Accessed will be imported into new policies with Monitor action. However, alerts for Warning Bypassed and Sites Blocked are not imported.
• Existing Security Alerts are not imported.
• Bandwidth Alerts that were set for All Users cannot be imported. All other bandwidth alerts are imported into new policies with a Monitor action.
