For both the Windows and virtual collectors, Auvik automatically updates the collector software on a regular basis. These updates are completed during the periodic maintenance windows.
Auvik also automatically upgrades and patches the underlying Ubuntu OS (operating system) on Ubuntu-based OVA and BASH versions of the collector. If a restart is required to complete the upgrade, it will be executed on the next programmed maintenance window.
No further action is required on the end users’ part to keep the Auvik collector up to date, unless you’re explicitly instructed by Auvik Support to take action.
