Monitor Staged Upgrades Rollouts of Prisma Agents

You can monitor the staged upgrade rollouts of the Prisma Agent from the Endpoint Management page.
Where Can I Use This?What Do I Need?
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
  • Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
  • NGFW (Managed by Panorama)
  • Check the prerequisites for the deployment you're using
  • macOS or Windows endpoints
  • Contact your Palo Alto Networks account representative to activate the Prisma Agent feature
Prisma Agent upgrades are grouped into upgrade rings that are rolled out to endpoints according to the staged rollouts that you configured on the Access Agent Setup page for the Prisma Agent.
To monitor the progress of the staged rollouts, select ConfigurationEndpoint Management.
If no new agents have been published by Palo Alto Networks or no upgrades are running, the window might look like this:
In the Agent Upgrade Progress section, you can see the latest Agent Version that has been rolled out to your endpoints, and the total number of agents that have completed, failed, or pending upgrades. The completed status indicates that an agent is running the latest level of the agent shown in the Agent Version field.
After you onboard a new device, the Prisma Agent will get upgraded during a staged rollout according to the ring that the device belongs to. If a new device was added to a ring after a staged rollout has completed for that ring, the device will be updated as part of the default ring. The next time a staged rollout occurs, that device will be upgraded according to its original ring membership.
To view the details about the agent upgrades in the upgrade rings, select View Ring Details. Expand each ring section to show the number of devices in the ring that have completed, failed, or pending upgrades. For each category (Completed, Failed, or Pending), the sum of the numbers in each ring should equal the total number in the respective category in the Total Agent Upgrade Progress section.
If you downloaded the Prisma Agent package from this page, you can conveniently start a staged rollout by clicking Start. You can also stop a staged rollout.
If you need to upgrade the agent on individual devices outside of the ring upgrades, select the devices in the Devices table and select ActionsUpgrade Agent.
