Settings and Updates

Settings

You can change the Update and Sysmon EULA selections by clicking Settings from the SamurAI Endpoint Agent view.

  • Auto Managed : Auto updates of agents is enabled by default, select this option if you want the agent updates to occur automatically without any action needed on your part.
  • Self Managed : Select this option should you wish to manage agent updates yourself.

Self Managed

If Self Managed is selected a new option entitled Update Tasks is displayed.

Update Tasks

Selecting Update Tasks allows you to configure tasks for updating your deployed agents.

  1. Click on Create Update Task

  1. Enter a Name for the task e.g Windows 10 Pro Update

  2. Toggle whether you wish to Start immediately. If you do not start the task immediately you have the option to update the status at a later date/time. See Update the Task.

  3. Select whether you wish to update:

  • SamurAI Agent version (the latest version will always be displayed)
  • Sysmon version

  1. Rate Limit is enabled by default to 5 nodes per 1 minute. Read more about Rate Limiting

  2. Once complete, select Review Selection and review your tasks

  3. Click on Create Update Task

Rate Limiting

Rate limiting allows you to roll out updates to nodes gradually instead of updating all at once. This controlled approach reduces risk of disruption, avoids overloading networks and ensures that if an unexpected issue occurs, only a small number of nodes are affected.

Rate limiting allows you to configure the number of nodes to update per time duration (which can be set per minute/hour/day).

When rate limiting is recommended:

  • Large fleets (typically 500+ nodes)
  • Networks with remote sites, VPN’s or limited bandwidth
  • Critical workloads where uptime and stability are essential
  • Major agent version upgrades or significant configuration changes

When rate limiting may not be necessary:

  • Small fleets with a few hundred nodes
  • Minor, low-risk updates
