  • Update your device from the Splunk Edge Hub mobile app or the device itself.

This feature is turned off by default. Turn on the feature to perform online updates.

Requirements

A dedicated modular input periodically checks for newer versions of Splunk Edge Hub OS. When a new version is available, a notification appears in the Splunk Edge Hub mobile app and in the Settings section of your Splunk Edge Hub devices.
