Finding the Agent Version

^{Last Updated: 2023-08-15}

Purpose

This article describes how to find the version of the Agent.

Introduction

To maintain reliable security scans and full platform compatibility, it is important that Outpost24 agents are running the correct version. The Finding the Agent Version feature shows you how to verify which version of the agent is currently installed. On Windows this is done via the Control Panel or PowerShell, while on Linux you use the o24-agent --version command. Knowing the installed version helps you ensure agents are up-to-date and reduces the risk of missing new features or fixes.

Checking the Agent Version

To check the the version of the installed agent:

Windows

1. Open Control Panel.

2. Click on Programs.

3. Click Program and Features and search for agent.

PowerShell

Linux

Login to your Linux system with an account having admin privileges or being able to elevate privileges and become root and run the following command:

sudo o24-agent --version
