Plugin Updates

Sheriff CSM notifies users when there is an update to the existing plugins, accessible from the Sheriff CSM Message Center.

These updates typically occur every two months. Starting with release version 5.4, plugin updates can also be scheduled and you can configure threat intelligence and plugin updates to run automatically. See Update Sheriff CSM Online.

Note: The Sheriff CSM Sensor (Deputy) and Sheriff CSM Server must be updated independently.

Verify If There Is a New Plugin Update

To check if there is a plugin update, open the Sheriff CSM Message Center by clicking the envelope icon ().

If you see a message similar to "Plugins Feed Update - <YYYY-MM-DD>," it means that you have a plugin feed update. The Plugins Feed Update message displays the release notes, as shown.

Update Plugins

To install the latest plugin updates

1. Go to Configuration > Deployment > Components > Sheriff Center.

2. Review information about what the plugin package contains by clicking the Arrow icon ()

   Note: If you choose the Update All option, instead of Update Feed Only, Sheriff CSM applies a full system upgrade, which will include any plugin updates that are available.
