Please change the following:
“computers”: Under the "computers" section, you can specify the list of computers you are updating. The default setting is “all” and it will update any client that will report to GYTPOL. In case you want to update only a certain list of clients, please write intend to update. By default, it is set to "all," which updates any sensor reporting to GYTPOL. If you wish to update only specific sensors, please list the names of the Endpoints/Servers in within the list , while keeping a json syntax (i.e maintaining JSON syntax, including commas and quotes). For example:
“computers”: [
“pc01”,”pc02”,”srv01”,”dc02”
],
b. “links”: Under the "links" section, you should specify the URL in from which the clients are downloading sensors will download the new version from.

"https://some-webserver.domain.com/path-to-msi.msi"
],
c. gytpolClient: The Under the "gytpolClient" section, the name of the client sensor file at the end of the “link” in the URL specified on in step 4.b.■ In the initial file should be modified.

After the initial upgrade, it should remain unchanged.
d. Linux clients update: please use IP address instead of the FQDN in the client link.■ Linux links should be added manually to the json according to the example below, including the version, clientType and fileType (marked in green).For updating Linux / macOS sensors, utilize IP addresses instead of Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) in the sensor link. Additionally, manually add Linux links to the JSON, incorporating version, clientType, and fileType parameters as shown in the example below (marked green):
