You can activate auto-update for agent groups or all agents from the VMware Aria Operations for Logs server.
Auto-update applies the latest available update to the selected agent group or all agents connected to the server. You can deactivate the auto-update feature for individual servers by editing the agent's
liagent.ini file.
Note:
For more information, see
Working with VMware Aria Operations for Logs Agents.
- If
auto-update=yes
is changed toauto-update=no
in the client, you cannot activate auto-update for the agent in the server. - If the default configuration in the client is not changed (
auto_update=yes
), the configuration in the server works. So, you can activate auto-update for all agents or agent groups using the relevant option.
Auto-update is deactivated for the server by default.
Prerequisites
- Ensure that agents have an active status are version 4.3 or later.
- Ensure that the client-side agent configuration has auto_update set to yes.
Procedure
- Expand the main menu and navigate to Management > Agents.
- Do either of the following.
- To activate auto-update for all agents, in the upper-right corner of the Agents page, click the toggle control for Enable auto-update for all agents.
- To activate auto-update for an agent group, select the agent group in the agent drop-down menu and click the toggle control for Enable auto-update for selected Agent Group.
Note: This toggle control appears only when Enable auto-update for all agents is deactivated.
Results
Agents in the selected agent group or all agents connected to this server are updated when an update is present.
