You can now easily keep all your Cloud Link Service up to date with the latest version. You can set up automatic updates or scheduled updates to save time and avoid manual tracking of the Cloud Link Service.
You can set up update options on the Sensor Configuration tab:
Prerequisites
Note:
To update the Cloud Link Service automatically
Log in to the NetWitness Platform on the cloud.
Go to Admin > Sensor Configuration.
Do one of the following:
Note: To change the sensor Update settings at any point, select the preferred update option and click Save.
You can update the Cloud Link Service manually on selected hosts.
Note: You can update the Cloud Link Service individually on each host. You cannot update multiple Cloud Link Services.
To update the Cloud Link Service manually
Log in to the NetWitness Platform on the cloud.
Go to Admin > Sensor Configuration.
Select the option Manually update each sensor and click Save.
Click the Sensor List tab.
Select the Cloud Link Service that needs to be updated and click Update Sensor.
A pop-up message is displayed to confirm the update.
Click Update.
Note: If the update fails, the error for update failure is displayed, and you can troubleshoot the Cloud Link Service and resolve the issue. For more information, see How to Troubleshoot Cloud Link Service.
Limitations associated with this version of the sensor are included below:
When a new version of the sensor update is available, for example, 11.6.1, the Sensor Update button is enabled and ready to update the sensor. When you click Sensor Update, the sensor update starts. However, at the same time if a new rpm for the sensor update is uploaded, for example, 11.7, there are high chances the sensor update will not be overridden, causing the sensor to not be updated with the latest version.
When a new version of sensor update is available, and you have configured for manual updates, the sensor update will not be triggered automatically. In this scenario, you need to update to the new version manually. However, if a new version of the sensor update is released after changing the setting to automatic, all sensor updates will be performed automatically from that moment.
