Upgrading Wazuh agents on macOS systems
Follow these steps to upgrade Wazuh agents locally on macOS systems. If you want to perform a remote upgrade, check the Remote agent upgrade section to learn more.
Note
To perform the agent upgrade, administrator privileges are required.
Download the latest macOS installer.
Run the macOS installer by using the command line interface (CLI) or the graphical user interface (GUI).
To upgrade the Wazuh agent by using the command line, run the installer:
# installer -pkg wazuh-agent-4.4.3-1.pkg -target /
Using the GUI will perform a simple upgrade. Double click on the downloaded file and follow the wizard. If you are not sure how to answer some of the prompts, simply use the default answers.
Note
When upgrading agents from versions earlier than 4.x, make sure that the communication protocol is compatible. Up to that point, UDP was the default protocol and it was switched to TCP for later versions. Edit the agent configuration file ossec.conf
to update the protocol or make sure that your Wazuh manager accepts both protocols.
