LogDNA Upgrade

LogDNA requires all their agents to be > 1.6.1. If you need to update an agent:

• SSH into the server
• check what version of the agent is currently installed: logdna-agent -v
• update apt repositories: sudo apt update
• update logdna-agent: sudo apt install --only-upgrade logdna-agent
• restart the agent: sudo systemctl restart logdna-agent
• we need to configure the agent to start when the server starts: sudo systemctl enable logdna-agent

to ensure that the agent is running correctly:

• you can tail the logs to see if the logs are being sent: tail -f /var/log/logdna-agent.log and you should see:
