Version Check
You can easily check the version of the Sysdig Cloud agent with the following commands depending on if the containerized agent is deployed or a native Linux host version is installed:
If the agent is installed as a service you can run
/opt/draios/bin/dragent --version
For a containerized agent you can run a command similar to
docker exec sysdig-agent /opt/draios/bin/dragent --version
Other Methods:
Debian / Ubuntu:
dpkg -l | grep draios-agentRedhat / Fedora:
rpm -qa | grep draios-agentContainer:
docker exec sysdig-agent dpkg -l | grep draios-agentThe agent version can also be found in the agent log file: /opt/draios/logs/draios.log, look for the "Agent starting" message which is logged whenever the agent restarts.
