If Software Update is configured to work in online mode, the MX periodically contacts the Imperva Central Software Repository Server and compares the installed SecureSphere components with the available software patches and upgrades. By default, this process is set to occur at 1 AM every day, but you can configure the time of day. The process is entirely automatic, provided the MX has an internet connection.
Alternatively, you can perform online synchronization whenever you like by clicking Check for Updates.
Both of these processes are dependent on Software Update being configured to work in online mode. This is the default setting, and you can see it in the Settings dialog box. For more information, see Configuring Software Update Settings.
Whether scheduled or initiated by you, after the synchronization process is completed, the data regarding the Target Version, Update Urgency, and Suggested Action of your deployment’s elements is updated in the Software Update window.
