Update IT Agent Discovery

[#1]

Lansweeper IT Agent Discovery is updated automatically. Updates are managed through groups, which apply a consistent schedule and configuration across multiple agents.

All IT Agents are initially placed in the Default Group, but you can edit or create groups to control update timing and configuration.

View or manage groups

1. To see an overview of all groups, go to Discovery > Groups.

2. Review the list of groups, including their type, the number of assigned systems, and the corresponding maintenance period.

Configure scheduled updates

1. In your Lansweeper Site, go to Discovery > Groups.

2. Select Default Group. By default, this group manages your IT Agents.

3. To pause or resume the auto-updates, select Enable scheduled updates.

4. Select the days and times when updates should be applied.

5. Select Assigned systems. Select or deselect the systems you want to be assigned to this group.

6. Select Save changes.

Best practices

• Use additional groups to stagger updates across regions or environments.

• Regularly review the update schedule to align with your change management windows.

• Group by system type or role if different agents need different update timing
