Agent Self-Update
The agent updates itself automatically when the server publishes a new version. No manual intervention is required on client machines.
How it works
- Downloads the new agent binary from the server
- Stops itself, replaces its own executable, and restarts as a service
- Reports the new running version on the next check-in
Rollback
If the updated agent fails to start, the previous version is preserved as a backup file in the installation directory.
AV considerations
Ensure the agent installation directory and process are excluded from AV real-time scanning. See GravityZone coexistence.
