🙌 How to Upgrade

All components are upgraded automatically and no action from the user side is necessary. Requests throwing error messages (e.g. in case of an SQL Procedure: The given key 'ODBC_Procedure_1.0.253' was not present in the dictionary) indicate a mismatch of Handler versions. This can be solved by a simple restart of the agent.
