soup¶
As we make updates to Security Onion, we publish blog posts to https://blog.securityonion.net. You’ll want to review these blog posts for any relevant information about the individual updates.
Once you’re ready to install an update, use the soup
command:
sudo soup
If necessary, soup
will update itself and then ask you to run soup
again. Once soup
is fully updated, it will then update Salt and the Docker images.
Warning
Please note that soup
only updates Security Onion components and does NOT update the underlying operating system (OS). There is an option during Configuration to automatically update the OS packages.
Agents¶
If you’ve previously added any external agents (Wazuh, Beats, etc.), be sure to upgrade them to match the version of your upgraded components.
