Upgrade Agents from UI
Agents can be upgraded using Agent Config Intent workflow as described here - Software Agent Config. While configuring an agent config profile, there is an Auto Upgrade option which can be enabled or disabled. If the option is enabled, the agents matching inventory filter criteria are automatically upgraded to the latest available version.
On the page, software agents with outdated versions are highlighted with a warning sign under the SW Version column. It is important to upgrade these agents to the latest available version on the cluster.
