The Data Collector Upgrader provides options to manually or automatically upgrade to the latest Data Collector logic. A regularly scheduled process checks if updates are available. Updates then can be downloaded to the Portal server (see
Download Updates to the Portal). From the Portal server, you can push the updates out to individual Data Collector servers (see
Deploying Updates to Collectors). In addition, these updates can be automated (see
Configuring Automatic Updates).
