Upgrading to DefectDojo Version 1.8.0

What's New:

• See release notes:
  https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/releases
• Improved search, which requires an index rebuild
  ( https://github.com/DefectDojo/django-DefectDojo/pull/2861)

This requires a (one-time) rebuild of the Django-Watson search index.
Execute the django command from the defect dojo installation directory:

./manage.py buildwatson

If you're using docker:

docker-compose exec uwsgi ./manage.py buildwatson

This can take a while depending on your hardware and the number of findings in your instance.

• NOTE:

As a result of a breaking bug revolving around Endpoint_status objects, a corrective script will need to be ran after every dynamic scan imported through either API version.

The script can be found here

./manage.py create_endpoint_status

If you're using docker:

docker-compose exec uwsgi ./manage.py create_endpoint_status

This can take a while depending on your hardware and the number of findings in your instance.
