[Updating & Migrating](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#updating-migrating) # How to update the Hyperglance app ## Updating Hyperglance to the latest version and scheduling automatic updates This guide assumes you are running Hyperglance as a VM or EC2 Instance with our latest [RKE2 based internal architecture](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/k8s-migration?hsLang=en). - If you are running our legacy Docker architecture, [see these instructions](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/upgrading-hyperglance-to-a-newer-version-0?hsLang=en). - If you are running Hyperglance in your own cluster, see our [Helm chart readme.](https://github.com/hyperglance/helm-chart?tab=readme-ov-file#acquire-the-hyperglance-helm-chart) **Tip: Check out our** [release notes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/hyperglance-release-notes?hsLang=en) for the latest features, improvements, & fixes. **Internet Connection Required:** Hyperglance application components are hosted at GitHub and DockerHub. **Terminal Access Required:** Updating Hyperglance can only be done from the terminal. [See connection details for the terminal.](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/terminal-access-for-hyperglance?hsLang=en) (Coming soon:  Ability to update the app via settings page) ### Update the Hyperglance CLI The Hyperglance CLI (`hg`) facilitiates updates of the main application.  So we recommend updating the CLI first for best results: ``` sudo hg update-cli ```   ### Update the main Hyperglance application Note: We recommend updating the Hyperglance CLI first (see above). To update the main Hyperglance application, run: ``` sudo hg upgrade ``` If you use Hyperglance with AWS, check [our release notes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/hyperglance-release-notes?hsLang=en) to see if a new service has been added, or any [IAM policies](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/aws-iam-policy-requirements?hsLang=en) need updating.   ### Schedule Automatic Updates To enable automatic updates you can add a cronjob in the Hyperglance VM by running the following command: ``` sudo hg auto-update enable ``` This update weekly on Sunday at midnight. To see other options for update frequency run: ``` hg auto-update enable -h ``` **Tip:** For help creating custom cron expressions: [This is a great resource](https://crontab.cronhub.io/). ---   - [Before You Start](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Kubernetes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#kubernetes) - [GCP](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#gcp) - [AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#aws) - [Azure](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/before-you-start?hsLang=en#azure) - [Using Hyperglance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Automations](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#automations) - [Inventory & Diagrams](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#inventory-diagrams) - [Rules](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#rules) - [Cost Management](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#cost-management) - [Dashboards](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#dashboards) - [Security & Compliance](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/using-hyperglance?hsLang=en#security-compliance) - [Setup & Configuration](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Updating & Migrating](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#updating-migrating) - [General](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#general) - [RBAC & Users](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#rbac-users) - [STIGS & FIPS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#stigs-fips) - [AWS](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#aws) - [Azure](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#azure) - [Kubernetes](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#kubernetes) - [GCP](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#gcp) - [API](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#api) - [Legacy Docker-based deployments](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#legacy-docker-based-deployments) - [AI](https://support.hyperglance.com/knowledge/setup-configuration?hsLang=en#ai) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.hyperglance.com/hs-fs/hubfs/hyperglance.png?width=134&height=24&name=hyperglance.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.hyperglance.com/) 2880 Zanker Road, Suite 203, San Jose, CA 95134 Copyright © 2025 Hyperglance.
