3.19. Updates

3.19.1. ASGARD Updates

ASGARD will search for ASGARD updates on a daily basis. Available updates will automatically be shown in the section Updates.

As soon as an ASGARD update is available, a button Upgrade from ... to ... appears. Clicking this button will start the update process. The ASGARD service will be restarted and the user will be forced to re-login. Generally update MASTER ASGARD before the connected ASGARDs.

3.19.2. Updates of THOR and THOR Signatures

By default, ASGARD will search for signature updates and THOR updates on an hourly basis. These updates will be set to active automatically. Therefore, a triggered scan will always employ the current THOR version and current signature version. You may disable or modify the automatic THOR and Signature updates by deleting or modifying the entries in this section.

Automatic Scanner and Signature Updates

It is possible to intentionally scan with an old scanner version by clicking on the pencil icon and selecting the respective version from the drop-down menu.

Please be aware, that this is a global setting and will affect all scans!

Hint

You can trigger a Manual Check and download new THOR packages by clicking Manually Check for Updates. This can also be used in new ASGARD installations, as sometimes it takes a while until ASGARD does this automatically.

3.19.3. Agent Updates

If an asset or an agent can be update, there will be a notice shown in the Updates > Agents tab.
