Update agents

When updating KUMA versions, the WMI and WEC agents installed on remote machines must also be updated.

To update the agent, use an administrator account and follow these steps:

1. In the KUMA web interface, in the Resources → Active services - Agents section, select the agent that you want to update and copy its ID.

   You need the ID to install the new agent with the same ID after removing the old agent.

2. In Windows, in the Services section, open the agent and click Stop.
3. On the command line, go to the folder where the agent is installed and run the command to remove the agent from the server.

   kuma.exe agent --id <ID of agent service that was created in KUMA> --uninstall

4. Place the new agent in the same folder.
5. On the command line, go to the folder with the new agent and from that folder, run the installation command using the agent ID from step 1.

   kuma agent --core https://<fullly qualified domain name of the KUMA Core server>:<port used by the KUMA Core server for internal communications (port 7210 by default)> --id <ID of the agent service that was created in KUMA> --user <name of the user account used to run the agent, including the domain> --install

6. To start the agent, you must confirm the license. During the installation process, you are prompted to read the text of the license and then accept or reject the agreement. If this did not happen automatically, you can use the following command to view the text of the license:

   kuma.exe license --show

   If you want to accept the license agreement, run the command and press y:

   kuma.exe license

The agent is updated.
