Good afternoon, I have some agents installed on machines that do not go online.  
What we do is that every 6 months we download the agent and take it from a repository  
which does not have internet access either, you have to tell the agent to look for the update  
in the repository that I manage?

Hi if the agent does not go online then it cannot update automatically and neither can the active gate. You would have to download the new versions manually to update the repositories.

Keep in mind that agents can be downloaded from the Activegate&nbsp; see:

> **[Deployment API - Download latest OneAgent](https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/dynatrace-api/environment-api/deployment/oneagent/download-oneagent-latest)**
>
> Download the latest OneAgent installer via Dynatrace API.

| Environment ActiveGate | https://{your-activegate-domain}:9999/e/{your-environment-id}/api/v1/deployment/installer/agent/{osType}/{installerType}/latest |
| --- | --- |

If you need to manually deploy the agents and activegates from your repository,&nbsp;Puppet or Ansible can be used to automate it.

You can do exactly as [@PacoPorro](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/40713)&nbsp;wrote.  
Otherwise you have to perform the update manually as the previous collegues wrote.
