Update it via script by executing the bin/update.sh script in the agent root directory. The script can take a parameter [version], for example:

1sh bin/update.sh [latest/1.1.1]

If left empty, it will default to the latest version, meaning the agent will automatically update to the most recent version.

Restarting the POD will deploy the latest logbeat version, or manually update to a specific version, e.g., modify it to registry.baidubce.com/bce_bls/logbeat:1.6.0, indicating version 1.6.0.
