+==== Auto update Observium with crontab ====
+Therefore that Observium doesn't use ''APT'' for updating, it can't be upgraded with ''unattended-upgrades'' for example. Nevertheless Observium can automatically be upgraded with a crontab:
+<callout type="warning" icon="true">This way of updating was only tested for the enterprise version of Observium!</callout>
+Create a crontab file with the following content:
+<panel type="info" icon="glyphicon glyphicon-file" title="/etc/cron.weekly/observium-update">
+<code bash>
+#!/usr/bin/bash
+MAILTO=<mail-address>
+echo ""
+echo "» Updating  Observium to latest version «"
+echo ""
+echo ""
+/usr/bin/svn update /opt/observium --non-interactive --no-auth-cache --username <username> --password <password>
+echo ""
+echo "» Update finished «"
+echo ""
+# touch this file to leave a fingerprint, if mailing fails
+touch /root/updated.txt
+</code>
+</panel>
+In case that your system has a proper configured ''mailutils''-package, the output of the crontab will be sent to the configured mail address at ''MAILTO=''.
