Updating the Data Agent

How to update the GovWorx Data Agent

Written by Trish Griffin

If you're using a domain account for CAD or VLR access, you'll need to reconfigure the logon parameters for the GovWorx Data Agent Windows service. This should be done following the same steps used during the initial setup.

From time to time we will make improvements or fixes to the data agent. To update your agent follow these steps:

  1. Browse to http://localhost:5000 on data agent server

  2. Click Update on Navigation Bar

  3. Install Update

Manual Download

  1. Install new Agent you just downloaded

Common Post-Update Issues

  • Installation failure

    • Check error code for details

    • Ensure you're running the executable as an administrator.

    • Some agencies have a group policy in effect that prevents running executables from the Downloads folder.

  • Prompted for registration token again after install

    • Registration screen can always be revisited at the /register slug. Verify “Connectors” is not present on left toolbar

      • If connectors is present then there is no issue

    • Verify that the GovWorx Data Agent Windows service is running

      • Can occur if the data agent was previously running as domain/gMSA account and is no longer running as that account

    • Restart GovWorx Data Agent Windows service

    • Click “Test Connectivity” button and run all tests to ensure all endpoints are reachable

    • Reenter registration token

      • If reentering the registration token works, then this indicates that the data agent database file was wiped.

      • Verify that all of the connectors are correct and that the connection details are set

  • “Oops! Something went wrong”

    • Resolved by clearing browser cache and reloading data agent web UI
