Before upgrading an installed Collector review Collector Upgrade Best Practices.

The steps to upgrade an installed Collector using the command line are similar to the steps used for installing the Collector with the command line. See Installed Collectors for details.

Download

Download the collector in either of the following ways:

  • In Sumo Logic select Manage Data > Collection > Collection. Click Add Collector, click Installed Collector, and then click the link for the collector to begin the download.
  • Open a browser and enter the static URL for your pod. If you're not sure which pod you're using, check the login page (US2, EU, AU, or DE appears in the URL for those pods; only US1 is not included in the URL). The download begins immediately. See Download a Collector from a Static URL for a list of the URLs for your Linux version and pod.
