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

b. Click Downloads.
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 Agent 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:

a. Follow the steps in Configuring TLS Versions and Cipher Suites to configure the Bridge to support TLSv1 and TLSv1.2.
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.
5. When you have upgraded all Agents to the latest version, follow the steps in Configuring TLS Versions and Cipher Suites to configure the Bridge to only support TLSv1.2 (the default setting).
6. Restart the Bridge service:

net stop TripwireBridge

net start TripwireBridge
