You can do an in-place upgrade of Ubuntu from 16.04 to 22.04.

You can back up the rrd directory, config.php and mysql/mariadb database first, and then if it fails you can just do a re-install and restore these.

Running "do-release-upgrade" on ubuntu will cause it to update to the next LTS version, which will be 18.04 then 20.04 then 22.04.

https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-16-04-to-ubuntu-18-04/

You can follow this. By the time you get to 20.04 your MariaDB should be new enough. You may need to run the "apt install" commands from the install guide to make sure all the packages for Observium are installed.

If you’re not in a position to upgrade the OS yet, this link might be helpful: https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com?d=mariadb.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXJpYWRiLmNvbS9kb2NzL3NlcnZlci9zZXJ2aWNlLW1hbmFnZW1lbnQvdXBncmFkZXMvY29tbXVuaXR5LXNlcnZlci8=&p=m&i=NjMyZGM2MjkyMGY2ZTAxMjdiY2Q3NDJj&t=WEZSdW0zdEN2QnBlOUZ3dTRmVmY0N21aUkhLSmZOcEhEa2FHQmpmZno5az0=&h=e6e4b357c8884455a5eb20303b2f9b76&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaOzYUnaqpIdvDtaMzyfhTGnAX500dhcZs0xYklJwC1eQGLFNxdx0G86sjAFzyoPck

Hi,
I am assuming that Linux 16.04 is Ubuntu 16.04.
If that's the case, you should upgrade the whole install as Ubuntu16.04 no longer receives updates besides security (ESM requires Ubuntu Advantage subscription, see https://us-east-2.protection.sophos.com?d=ubuntu.com&u=aHR0cHM6Ly91YnVudHUuY29tL2Fib3V0L3JlbGVhc2UtY3ljbGU=&p=m&i=NjMyZGM2MjkyMGY2ZTAxMjdiY2Q3NDJj&t=VFhjYmdDL3RvMnhNc1p3K3R4TnQyMDl0R3Q0WVkrS1V3OHZyNlJSQm9URT0=&h=e6e4b357c8884455a5eb20303b2f9b76&s=AVNPUEhUT0NFTkNSWVBUSVaOzYUnaqpIdvDtaMzyfhTGnAX500dhcZs0xYklJwC1eQGLFNxdx0G86sjAFzyoPck).
In any case, you should upgrade the server to something more recent, which brings a newer version of MariaDB.

HTH,
Ahmed.

Your currently installed MariaDB version 10.0.38 is older than the recommended minimum 10.2.7.
