Download and Update Agents

Check available agent versions, see which versions your agents run, and download MSI installers for remote deployment to integration servers like BizTalk Server, straight from the Nodinite Web Client.

Why Use This Page?

  • ✅ Quick version verification — See available releases, and which version each installed agent runs
  • ✅ Remote deployment enabled — Download MSI installers for BizTalk Server and other integration platforms
  • ✅ Install Guide included — Get the msiexec command line to install or update the agent on the target server

Animation: the Download and Update Agents lists with release dates, versions and status icons; search for BizTalk, open Microsoft BizTalk Server, its Instances and the version picker, then Download Package starts the MSI download and opens the Install Guide (7.12)
Open an agent to see where it runs and its older versions; Download Package downloads the MSI from download.nodinite.com and opens the Install Guide with the msiexec command.

What is the Download and Update Agents Page?

The Download and Update Agents page lists the available Nodinite Core, Monitoring Agent, and Logging Agent versions with release dates. It helps administrators verify agent versions and obtain MSI installers for remote server deployment. Agents installed on the Nodinite server itself are updated together with the Core Services by the PowerShell scripts from the Portal.

Purple: external Nodinite endpoints. Blue: this page and the administrator's browser. The Web API server fetches the version lists; the browser downloads the MSI itself, not through the Nodinite server. Orange: remote servers you install MSI packages on. Teal: the Nodinite server, updated with the Update Nodinite v7 guide instead.

Important

Nodinite 7.1.0 and later: This page is primarily used for:

  • Verifying available agent versions - Check for updates and new releases
  • Downloading agents for remote deployment - Obtain MSI installers for installation on other servers (e.g., BizTalk Server, remote monitoring servers)

For local Nodinite server updates: Use the Update Nodinite v7 guide with PowerShell scripts from the Nodinite Portal.

How the Download and Update Agents Page Works

The page (breadcrumb Download Agents) lists three groups, Nodinite Core, Monitoring Agents, and Logging Agents, each with Name, Release Date, and Version. Use the search box to find an agent, and check Incl. preview to also list preview releases.

Download and Update Agents page with the Nodinite Core and Monitoring Agents lists, release dates, versions, and status icons (7.12)
Nodinite Core lists Nodinite 7, the Installation Cli, the Installation Scripts, and Nodinite 6; the agent groups follow below.

The icon next to a version comes from the versions your installed agents report. Hover it for an explanation:

Icon Meaning
Green check This version is in use
Green up arrow An older version is installed, and this one is newer
Orange up arrow A newer version than the latest release is installed (a preview or test build)

Click an agent to open its details; clicking doesn't download anything. The details show:

  • Instances - where the agent is installed, with each instance's version, linked to its Monitoring Agent configuration
  • a version picker with older versions, and the release date
  • Documentation and Install Guide
  • the package size and Download Package
  • the release notes

The Nodinite 7 core packages have no Download Package button: update them with the Portal scripts.

Download Package starts the download in your browser and opens the Install Guide. The guide shows the Instances, Step 1 (where the agent will be installed), and Install and Update tabs with the msiexec /i … /qn … SERVICEACCOUNTUSER="<AccountName>" SERVICEACCOUNTPASSWORD="<Password>" command and a Copy button. It can also add the Monitoring Agent configuration for you (Quick Add).

Prerequisites

  • You must be a member of the built-in Administrator Role to access the Download and Update Agents page. Its Web API routes require the same Role.

Network Whitelist Requirements

Two different machines need outbound TCP 443:

Machine Host Purpose
The Web API server api.nodinite.com Agent lists, versions, and release notes. The call is anonymous.
The administrator's browser download.nodinite.com The MSI packages; the download doesn't pass through the Nodinite server

portal.nodinite.com is only linked from the page (release notes in the Portal); the page works without it.

Primary Use Cases

Verify Agent Versions

Check if newer agent versions are available:

  1. Navigate to Administration → Settings → Download/Update Agents
  2. Review the Release Date column to see when agents were last updated
  3. Look at the icon next to each version to spot agents with newer releases
  4. Open an agent and check its Instances to see which version each installation runs

Download Agents for Remote Deployment

Download MSI installers for installation on remote integration servers:

  1. Navigate to Administration → Settings → Download/Update Agents
  2. Locate the agent for your target platform (e.g., Microsoft BizTalk Server) and click it to open its details
  3. Pick a version, or keep the newest, and click Download Package
  4. Transfer the MSI to the target server
  5. Install or update the agent with the command from the Install Guide, then register it as a Monitoring Agent configuration so the Monitoring Service can reach it (the guide can add it for you)

Note

BizTalk Server agents are the most common use case for remote MSI deployment, as BizTalk environments often require on-server installation.
