How it is checked

Run SELECT ob_version(); and compare the result with the OceanBase Product Lifecycle page: the current date must be before the End of Standard Support (or End of Extended Support) date of that version, preferably an LTS release on its latest patch. An EOL version is a finding.

Download and apply the upgrade: - Download the installation package for the target version. - Upgrade the observer using the OceanBase Control Platform (OCP) or your standard upgrade procedure.
