+{{< note >}}
+If you are using a version of NGINX Ingress Controller prior to `v3.4` (Helm Chart `v1.1.x`) please upgrade to v3.4 first due to breaking changes.
+{{</ note >}}
+1. If using NGINX Ingress Controller resources with an `apiVersion` of `k8s.nginx.org/v1alpha1`, prior to upgrading to `v4.x` (Helm Chart `v2.x`) , **please ensure** that they are updated to `apiVersion: k8s.nginx.org/v1`
+{{< important >}}
+If a resource of `kind: GlobalConfiguration`, `kind: Policy` or `kind: TransportServer` is deployed as `apiVersion: k8s.nginx.org/v1alpha1`, it will be **deleted** during the upgrade process
+{{</ important >}}
+
+    Below is an example of how a Policy resource would change. Please ensure the same is done for GlobalConfiguration and TransportServer.

+1. Read the [Create License Secret]({{< relref "installation/installing-nic/create-license-secret">}}) topic to set up your NGINX Plus license.
+1. Usage reporting through the Cluster Connector is no longer required, and is now native to NGINX. 
+1. If your NGINX Ingress Controller installation is in an "air-gapped" environment, [usage reports can be sent to NGINX Instance Manager]({{< relref "installation/installing-nic/create-license-secret/#nim">}}). 
+1. Configure Structured Logging

+{{%tab name="Helm"%}}
+
+The previous Helm value `controller.logLevel` has been changed from an integer to a string. Options include: trace, debug, info, warning, error and fatal.
+
+Logs can also be rendered in different formats using the `controller.logFormat` key. Options include: glog, json and text. This only applies to NGINX Ingress Controller logs, not NGINX logs.

+controller:
+    logLevel: info

+
+The command line argument `-v` has been replaced with `-log-level`. It has been changed from an integer to a string. Options include: trace, debug, info, warning, error and fatal.
+
+Logs can also be rendered in different formats using the `-log-format` command line argument. Options include: glog, json and text. This only applies to NGINX Ingress Controller logs, not NGINX logs.
+
+The command line argument `-logtostderr` has been deprecated.
