Update the Ngris agent ("This ngris agent is too old")

The Ngris edge paces every response and every upload per request (flow control), and an agent has to support it to connect. Agents older than v0.4.2 are refused: the agent stops with

This ngris agent (v0.4.1) is too old. Update it: https://ngris.com/install

It does not retry. Nothing in your account or endpoint settings changes this — update the agent and start it again. An agent that is already connected keeps running until it reconnects, and every edge deploy reconnects agents.

Ngris can also set a minimum agent version. An agent below it is refused the same way, with a message that names your version and the minimum (“… is older than the minimum supported version …”). The fix is the same.

macOS (Homebrew)

brew upgrade --cask ngris
ngris --version

Windows (winget)

winget upgrade Ngris
ngris --version

Linux and macOS (install script)

The install script always installs the latest release, so running it again updates the agent:

curl -fsSL https://ngris.com/install.sh | sh
ngris --version

If ngris --version still shows the old version, an older copy comes first on your PATH: find it with command -v ngris, or reinstall into that directory with NGRIS_INSTALL_DIR.

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/ngris-edge/ngris:latest

Then recreate the container. An image pinned to an older tag (for example ghcr.io/ngris-edge/ngris:0.4.1) has to move to the new release.
