You can update the content packs that are already installed from the Content Pack Marketplace without leaving vRealize Log Insight.
Note: When alerts from content packs are enabled, the alerts are copied to a user's profile. Users can modify the copy's description or conditions. Beginning with alert definitions instantiated in 4.0, updating a content pack, and by extension its alert definitions, updates or removes the copies to match the improved content pack. If you want to preserve any user modifications, export them as a content pack before applying the update and import the changes back into the user profile after the update.
Prerequisites
Verify that you are logged into the vRealize Log Insight web user interface as a Super Admin user, or a user associated with a role that has the relevant permissions.
