Upgrade the Windows Agent

Automatic Upgrade of Windows Agent

By default, the Windows agent is automatically upgraded when a new version is available.

To disable automatic upgrade, add the following to your config.json file.

"autoupgrade": "disable"

note

For improved security and to benefit from new and improved features, Lacework recommends that you do not disable automatic upgrade of the agent.

To enable automatic upgrade again, delete the "autoupgrade": "disable" property in the config.json file or change it to:

"autoupgrade": "enable"

note

If you modify the config.json file while the agent is running, you must restart the agent for the changes to take effect.
