Upgrading the Agent
To upgrade the Agent to the latest version, complete the following steps:
|
1.
|
Determine if an upgrade is needed: |
|
a.
|
Log in to the Tripwire Customer Center: |
https://tripwireinc.force.com/customers
|
c.
|
On the left side, under Tripwire Log Center, click Platform. |
|
d.
|
Select the Agents tab. |
The Agents tab indicates the latest version of the installers. If the latest version is already installed on the Agent host system, no upgrade is necessary.
|
2.
|
Download the installer file: |
|
a.
|
In the File column of the Agents tab, select the link for your Agent's platform. |
|
b.
|
Save the installer file in a directory accessible from the Agent host system. |
|
3.
|
Because different versions of the Agent utilize different versions of TLS, you may need to configure the Bridge on the TLC Manager to support both TLSv1 and TLSv1.2. |
If your TLC Manager needs to continue to connect with older Agents (2.4.x or older) while upgrading to the latest version of the Agent, follow these steps:
|
b.
|
Restart the Bridge service: |
net stop TripwireBridge
net start TripwireBridge
|
4.
|
Launch the Agent installer you downloaded on the Agent host system. |
Linux:
|
a.
|
Log in with root privileges. |
|
b.
|
Run the following commands: |
rpm -U <installer_rpm_file>
/sbin/service twagent start
Windows:
|
a.
|
Log in with a local administrator account. |
|
b.
|
Open the directory containing the installer (.msi) file and double-click the file. |
|
6.

Restart the Bridge service: |
net stop TripwireBridge
