Updating Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components

KDT allows you to update the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components (including management web plug-ins). New versions of the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components are included in the distribution package.

Installing components of an earlier version is not supported.

To update the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components:

1. Download the distribution package with the new versions of the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components.
2. If necessary, on the administrator host, export the current version of the configuration file.

   You do not need to export the configuration file if the installation parameters are not added or modified.

3. Update the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components:
   • Run the following command for standard updating of the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components:

     ./kdt apply -k <path_to_XDR_updates_archive> -i <path_to_configuration_file>

   • If the version of the installed Kaspersky Next XDR Expert component matches the component version in the distribution package, the update of this component is skipped. Run the following command to force an update of this component by using the force flag:

     ./kdt apply --force -k <path_to_XDR_updates_archive> -i <path_to_configuration_file>

4. If the distribution package contains a new version of the Bootstrap component, run the following command to update the Kubernetes cluster:

   ./kdt apply -k <path_to_XDR_updates_archive> -i <path_to_configuration_file> --force-bootstrap

   In the commands described above, you need specify the path to the archive with updates of the components and the path to the current configuration file. You may not specify the path to the configuration file in the command if the installation parameters are not added or modified.
