The Agent Update Available status in the Nebula console gives you control over larger software updates that are typically released monthly for Windows endpoints. This status indicates when an endpoint has downloaded a agent update and is ready for installation. This allows you to manually control when the update gets installed.
Note: This feature does not stop Protection Updates or other plugins from updating, but rather provides control over larger agent updates being installed.
Like other statuses, the Dashboard shows a count of endpoints with Agent Updates available . Click this tile to navigate to the Endpoints page with the corresponding filter applied.
On hover, the status icon displays the current version in-use and the new version ready for installation.
Install Agent Update
- Select the endpoint(s) that have the Agent Update Available status.
- Select the Actions menu > Agent Update.
- A dialogue notifies you that a restart may be required to complete the installation. If needed, the Restart Required status icon subsequently displays, and reboots are handled as configured via your policy settings. Click Yes to install the update.
Note: To review or modify your reboot settings, select a policy, browse to the Windows tab > General tab, and locate the Reboot Options section.
To verify that the update was successful, select the Overview tab for a specific endpoint and confirm the Protection Service Version is in the 4.x.y.zz range.
Automatic Updates
If you prefer automatic updates, you can enable this feature under the Endpoint Agent updates section of a Nebula policy. For more information, see Overview of Endpoint agent settings in Nebula.
