Upgrading Cloud Agent

The Qualys Cloud Platform can be used to upgrade Cloud Agent to newer available versions when agents check into the platform, depending on the settings in the Configuration Profile.

Software distribution tools can package the Cloud Agent installer of a newer version to upgrade already installed agents. In those cases, the agents are not configured to auto-upgrade versions.

Use the following commands to upgrade your Cloud Agent:

sudo/Applications/QualysCloudAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/qagent_upgrade.sh package_file

Where package_file is the installer of the latest Cloud Agent version.

 If needed, restart the Cloud Agent using the following command: 
/Applications/QualysCloudAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/qagent_restart.sh
