Sensor Self Update

Cisco Cyber Vision now allows sensor updates regardless of the installation method (for example, without the extension) and provides the necessary foundation for sensor self-updates. However, the self-update feature will only be functional in future releases. You can update all sensors automatically. The required steps are:

  • Select sensors to update.

  • The Center adds a new job to the sensor queue.

  • The sensor automatically collects and validates the update file.

  • The sensor restarts with the new version.

Update Warnings

In the Cisco Cyber Vision Center on the Sensor Explorer page, you receive an alert to update the sensor. When this occurs, the latest version number appears in red, and a blue arrow with a tooltip indicates the sensor is upgradeable.

To update the senosr, follow thses steps:

  • From the main menu, choose Admin > Sensors > Sensor Explorer.

  • Click the sensor that is upgradeble from the Label column.

  • The right side panel appears with sensor details.

  • Click Update.
