This repository contains all released Instana agent versions.
There can be potentially many different release branches, like alpha or beta, but currently there is only one: public
This release branch is referenced in each agent installation in etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg
with the line: http://repo-public.instana.io/artifactory/features-public@id=features@snapshots@snapshotsUpdate=always
(This url matches the URL from pom.xml distribution management section)
Updates from that repository will be pulled automatically by the agent.
The update interval is defined in etc/instana/com.instana.agent.main.config.UpdateManager.cfg.
Should automatic update not be desired, it is possible to pin the agent to a specific version. This can be done in etc/instana/com.instana.agent.bootstrap.AgentBootstrap.cfg, where the version needs to correspond to a commit of the respective release branch, like 06fba01ca3c13265c0ac33bfcb4e5b0ef08ec385.
Once the version is pinned, no updates are performed anymore.
