Upgrading the Agent

Oracle recommends using the latest versions of agent software and JMS plug-ins to access the latest functionality and security vulnerability fixes.

Oracle Management Agent

See Upgrade Management Agents for detailed procedure and policy requirements. It is recommended to Enable Auto Upgrade of OMA. Java Management Service plug-in is automatically updated.

Oracle Cloud Agent

See Updating the Oracle Cloud Agent Software for the detailed procedure. Java Management Service plug-in will be updated along with the OCA update.
Note

Re-running the installer or installation script on a system with an existing agent may result in an agent update.

Oracle Container Management Agent

When the Oracle Container Management agent is deployed using the Helm chart, the version of the management agent is determined by the oci-management-agent container image from container-registry.oracle.com. To upgrade the management agent, you can choose one of the following options:

  • Enable Auto-Upgrade

    The management agent is automatically upgraded to the latest version when you auto-upgrade in the Management Agent Cloud Service.

  • Manual Upgrade

    Oracle typically publishes a new version of the oci-management-agent container image that is bundled with the latest management agent version after every Oracle Critical Patch Update (CPU).

    To manually upgrade:

    1. Update the oci-onm-mgmt-agent.mgmtagent.image.url property in the values.yaml file (located in the oci-onm directory) to reference the new container image version.
    2. Run a helm upgrade to redeploy the agent with the updated image.

    This command applies the updated values from the values.yaml file, including the new management agent image version.

    The JMS plug-in bundled with the Oracle Container Management agent is automatically upgraded when a new version is released by the JMS service.
