Help CenterThe ThreatLocker Update Channel can be set on an individual group basis. This will determine the speed at which the group will have its ThreatLocker Version automatically updated.
Whenever a build is pushed live, the automation system updates computer groups to the live build across all instances. The groups that are updated first are 'Empty Groups,' which refers to computer groups without machines. The next computer groups that get updated are the ones with their update channel set to 'Expedited.' The automation goes through batches of computer groups simultaneously, so some 'Expedited' groups may experience faster updates than others. Once all 'Expedited' groups have been updated on your instance, computer groups set to 'Regular' begin the same automated process. Once all of those computer groups have updated, the same automated process begins updating the 'Slow and Steady' computer groups in the same manner soon afterward.
Note: This does not apply to computer groups set to 'Manual' for their 'update channel'.
To alter your settings, navigate to the Computers > Groups page.
Channel Option Definitions
- Pre-releases - pre-release updates will be automatically pushed once the public beta is available. This option should only be used for non-production environments.
- Expedited - updates will be automatically delivered as soon as they are released into production (live).
- Regular (Default) - updates will be automatically released at regular speed beginning 24 hours after the expediated releases have completed.
- Slow and Steady - updates will be automatically deployed beginning 24 hours after the Regular updates have completed.
- Manual Updates - this is the least recommended as ThreatLocker will not update your groups and you will be solely responsible for updating your computers.
