Upgrading the Sensor component

You can upgrade a Sensor component that is deployed on a standalone server.

The upgrade is delivered as an update package. The package is included in the application distribution kit.

To upgrade a Sensor component deployed on a standalone server:

1. Place the application upgrade package on the server with the Sensor component in the /data/upgrade directory.
2. Sign in to the management console of the Sensor server where you want to upgrade the component via SSH or through the terminal.
3. Unpack the upgrade package by running the following command: tar xvf ./upgrade.tar.gz.
4. Install the upgrade package by running the following commands:
   1. chmod +x /data/upgrade/install_kata_upgrade.sh
   2. /data/upgrade/install_kata_upgrade.sh
5. Install the upgrade by running the following command: kata-upgrade --data-dir /data/upgrade --user admin --password <password set when installing the component>.

   If the password contains special characters, the password variable must be specified in the following format: --password '<password>'.

The Sensor component is upgraded.

After upgrading the component, you must log in again to the Sensor server management console over SSH or through the terminal.
