6.3. Agent and Agent Installer Update

When ASGARD has a new agent version available you can see an indicator on the Update menu item as well as on the sub menu Update > Agents. There are two tasks to perform, updating the agents on your assets and updating the agent installer for all future asset deployments.

6.3.1. Agent Update

If this is the first agent update performed on this ASGARD you might need to enable the Update Agent module under Settings > Advanced > Show Advanced Tasks.

Then you need to run the Update Agent module. You can do this on a per asset basis by running a playbook from Asset Management or create a New Group Task from Response Control, which is the preferred way. You can roll-out the update in batches by providing labels for each stage or not select any label to perform the update on all assets.

Note

The Update Agent module is not shown by default under (Group) Tasks. To show the group task or single tasks (also inside the group task) you need to select the Update Agent module from the Module column. You may need to select the Module column from Column visibility first, if not shown.

6.3.2. Agent Installer Update

You need to update the agent installer as well, so that newly added assets will directly use the current agent version. This is a manual task you have to perform once a new version is available. Navigate to Downloads > Agent Installers and click Repack Outdated Agent Installers. Please note that this process might take a while to finish.
