Validate agent downloads

When an agent on the Downloads page in the Admin Console contains both a file size and SHA-512 hash, you can use that information to verify the integrity of the downloaded installation file.

  1. In the Admin Console, go to SettingsDownloads.
  2. Click the Download Latest link next to the agent installer that you want to download. Make a note of the installer's file size and SHA-512 hash as they appear on the Downloads page.
  3. Verify that the size of the downloaded file matches the size listed on the Downloads page.
  4. Use one of the following commands to generate the hash on your local machine. Replace setup in the commands with the file path to your downloaded agent.
    • Linux: sha512sum setup.rpm
    • macOS: shasum -a 512 setup.rpm
    • Windows: CertUtil -hashfile setup.exe SHA512
  5. Verify that the generated hash matches the hash on the Downloads page.
