The Agent Update Available status in the Malwarebytes OneView 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.
Update agent
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 will be displayed, and reboots will be handled as configured via your policy settings. Click Accept to install the agent update.
Note: To review or modify your reboot settings, log into the Nebula console for the endpoints, select a policy, browse to the Windows tab > General tab, and locate the Reboot Options section.
Verify updates
To verify that the software 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 OneView global policy. For more information, see the Malwarebytes Nebula article Configure Software Updates options in Malwarebytes OneView.
