Upgrade Cloud Agent

You can configure a Cloud Agent to upgrade to the latest available version. If you configure the Cloud Agent for auto-upgrade, it automatically upgrades to the newer version when it checks in to Qualys Cloud Platform.

If you have not configured a Cloud Agent for auto-upgrade, you can use a software distribution tool. Package the installer of the latest available version and deploy it to upgrade an installed agent.

Use the following commands to upgrade your Cloud Agent:

• Linux RPM-based system
  rpm -Uvh package_file.rpm
• Linux Debian-based system
  dpkg -i package_file.deb

Where package_file is the installer package.

If Cloud Agent does not show the updated version, restart it using /usr/local/qualys/cloud-agent/bin/qagent_restart.sh command.
