Upgrade
It’s important you upgrade to the latest version of the Linux Agent whenever possible, as we’re constantly improving it. Check out the recently closed issues and pull requests, as well as the release history, to see why you should upgrade.
Stop the Linux Agent (use the appropriate command for your distro). The most common being:
service netuitive-agent stop
/etc/init.d/netuitive-agent stop
initctl stop netuitive-agent
systemctl stop netuitive-agent
Run
yum -y update netuitive-agent
.or
apt-get upgrade netuitive-agent
or
apt-get install --only-upgrade netuitive-agent
Tip
If you have not customized the Netuitive configuration file in any way (other than inputting the API key), jump to step 6. If you’ve customized the configuration file, continue on.
Get the difference between the old configuration file
netuitive-agent.conf
and the new configuration filenetuitive-agent.conf.rpmnew
diff -u /opt/netuitive-agent/conf/netuitive-agent.conf.rpmnew /opt/netuitiveagent/conf/netuitive-agent.conf
Copy your changes from the old file to new file.
Rename the old file to
netuitive-agent.conf.old
and the new configuration file tonetuitive-agent.conf
.Start the Linux Agent. The most common commands being:
service netuitive-agent start
/etc/init.d/netuitive-agent start
initctl start netuitive-agent
systemctl start netuitive-agent
