6.1. Agent and Agent Installer Update

When a new ASGARD agent version is available, an indicator appears on the Update menu item and on the Update > Agents submenu. Two tasks are required: update the agents on your assets and update the agent installer for future asset deployments.

6.1.1. Agent Update

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

Then run the Update Agent module. You can update individual assets by running a playbook from Asset Management, or you can create a New Group Task from Response Control, which is the preferred method. To roll out the update in batches, provide labels for each stage. To update all assets, do not select a label.

Note

The Update Agent module is not shown by default under (Group) Tasks. To show the group task or single tasks, including tasks inside a group task, select the Update Agent module from the Module column. If the Module column is not shown, select it from Column visibility first.

6.1.2. Agent Installer Update

Update the agent installer as well, so newly added assets use the current agent version immediately. This is a manual task that must be performed when a new version is available. Navigate to Downloads > Agent Installers and click Repack Outdated Agent Installers. This process might take a while to finish.
