Often we release updates to the agent. Follow the steps below to bring your agent up to date.
Update notifications
If you're using our OS packagers for Deb/RPM then they will simply tie into your package manager and it will notify you as part of your normal system upgrades processes e.g. when you do your regular update review or if you have something like update-notifier.
In addition to this, our web UI shows the version for each agent when you view a server and highlights outdated agents. The release notes are kept up to date and we post new releases on our blog.
Finally, you can find a list of sd-agent releases on Github.
You can also force an update:
CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat / CloudLinux
sudo yum clean all
sudo yum update sd-agent
Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sd-agent
I've just updated this article with several ways you can find out about updates. Probably the easiest is to subscribe to our blog at https://blog.serverdensity.com
How do we know when a new agent has been released?
