The Check_MK Agent Bakery now allows for automatically updating Check_MK Agents via HTTP/HTTPS. This is realized by a new agent plugin called cmk-update-agent, that is currently only available for Linux, but a Windows version will follow soon. The steps for setting up the automatic updates is:
-
Go to the new page for the Agent Deployment. You find a new button for this in the Agent Bakery page.
-
Fullfil all of the prerequisites that are shown on that new pages. This involves creating agents that contain the new plugin with a valid configuration and enabling the deployment.
-
Install the new prepared agents on the target hosts of your choice.
-
Call cmk-update-agent register on these systems in order to register the agents for updates.
-
Don't forget to enable the agent deployment's master switch!
