Required Permission Level: Administrator
We periodically update the Brightmetrics agent with bug fixes and performance improvements, so it is important to stay up to date.
The Brightmetrics agent service normally updates itself automatically. If automatic updates have been disabled intentionally, for example by disabling the BrightmetricsUpdater service, you can install the latest version from the link below.
*NOTE: Please check your version prior to updating. If your agent is v2, you'll need to uninstall it and then reinstall to get v3.*
Current Agent Build: v3.5
Checking your agent version
To see which version of the agent you're on perform the following steps:
Step 1. Click on the Data Source Configuration icon
Step 2. Click on the Agent tab
Step 3. See the Agent Version for all agents
Updating your agent to the latest version:
If your agent is v2, you'll need to uninstall it and then reinstall to get v3.
Click the link below and follow the instructions on the page:
If you would like the agent to stay up to date automatically:
- Ensure the BrightmetricsUpdater service is installed, enabled, and running
- Make sure the updater and the agent have full connectivity to Brightmetrics servers (see our article here for what internet access does the agent need)
- Ensure no content filter is blocking downloads of the update installer
- Ensure anti-virus software is not preventing the BrightmetricsUpdater service from launching the update installer
Once your agent is up to date, there may be additional updates needed. It's also important to ensure your server supports TLS 1.2 in order for the Brightmetrics agent to run correctly. Our article found here explains .Net and TLS requirements.
