Sensor Updates

When a newer sensor version is available than the one deployed, you’ll see “Update Available” next to the sensor name in the UI. You should update the sensor to the newer version to take advantage of new features, bug fixes and to remediate vulnerabilities.

For Sensors Downloaded from the Qualys Enterprise TruRisk™ Platform

Sensors deployed on Docker with the installsensor.sh script or docker run command will be updated automatically (unless the '--disable-auto-update' option was used for the install script). Sensors are not updated automatically for Kubernetes deployments. Refer to Deploying the Sensor in Kubernetes for instructions.

For Sensors Installed from Docker Hub

The Qualys Container Sensor image hosted on Docker Hub does not support auto update. See Upgrading the Sensor for instructions on how to upgrade to the latest version.
