Abstract
Techniques are described for upgrading systems that include a first set of agents for collecting target data from a plurality of targets and sending the target data to a first management server. In an embodiment, a second set of agents is pre-deployed. Each pre-deployed agent is configured to, upon activation, collect target data from a respective target of the plurality of targets and send the target data to a second management server. While the pre-deployed agent remains inactive, an agent from the first set of agents collects and sends the target data to the first management server. When a first batch of one or more pre-deployed agents is activated, each activated agent begins collecting target data and sending the target data to the second management server. For agents not in the first batch, the first set of agents continues to collect and send the target data.
