Enable the Sensor Auto upgrade

Prev Next

The auto-upgrading sensor package is named cwp. To install it, first uninstall the existing package (previous packages are named canary-forwarder or canary_forwarder) then install the auto-upgrading package.

Note: These steps are relevant if there is an existing deployment of the sensor as either canary-forwarder or canary_forwarder. New deployments using the cwp package do not have additional steps.

  4. sudo apt-get install cwp

RHEL/Centos 6, 7, 8
