Auto-update multiple agents on demand

View the status of agents for a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) instance from its Agent Monitors page. When a new Okta agent is available and an existing agent is out of date, a warning icon () appears in the Version column for that agent. Keep your agents current to ensure that your org has the latest Okta features and functionality.

When you start an agent auto-update, the agent is disconnected from Okta. You must have two operational agents installed on the directory instance that you are updating. This ensures that at least one agent is available to avoid service being disrupted for users while the other agent is updated.
