Manually Updating the Instance Security Agent

If you are running a custom image which doesn't have Oracle Cloud Agent (OCA) enabled, you must manually manage updates to the Instance Security agent.

Update Instance Security agent using the appropriate commands for your OS.


Operating system	Latest version	Upgrading steps
Linux	Get the latest version from: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/idaork8onzto/b/wlp-agent/o/wlp-agent-${latest_version}.x86_64.rpm	`sudo yum update <your-installer-full-path>` or `sudo rpm -Uvh <your-installer-full-path>`
Debian	Get the latest version from: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/idaork8onzto/b/wlp-agent/o/wlp-agent-${latest_version}.amd64.deb	`sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y update <your-installer-full-path>` or `sudo dpkg -i <your-installer-full-path>` Also, run the command `apt-get install -f` to resolve and install any missing dependencies.
Windows		Copy the installer to a convenient location, for example `C:\Users\opc`. Open a cmd terminal (not powershell) in Administrator mode. Inside the terminal run `cmd /c start <installer-full-path> /quiet` Wait for around 5 seconds. Logs will be available at `C:\Program Files\wlpagent\logs\wlpagent.log`.
