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

  1. Downloads the new agent binary from the server
  2. Stops itself, replaces its own executable, and restarts as a service
  3. 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.
