# AutoOps agent outdated
Your AutoOps agent is behind the recommended version. Keeping that agent current helps AutoOps receive complete telemetry and apply the latest reliability improvements when it evaluates your cluster.

## Example: What you might see in AutoOps

The following is an example of what you might see when this insight is triggered. Real insights use live data and links from your deployment or cluster.

### AutoOps agent 9.3.1 is behind the recommended version 9.3.2


#### What was detected

The Elastic Agent that connects this cluster to AutoOps runs 9.3.1. The recommended version is 9.3.2.

#### Recommendations

<note>
  AutoOps shows different recommendations depending on how their conditions match your deployment or cluster.
</note>

<dropdown title="Upgrade AutoOps agent">
  **Condition**: Always shown for this insight.Upgrade the Elastic Agent that connects this cluster to AutoOps to 9.3.2 or later. Use the current installation command from [Connect your self-managed cluster to AutoOps](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-content/tree/main/deploy-manage/monitor/autoops/cc-connect-self-managed-to-autoops), and apply the steps that match how you installed the agent.
</dropdown>


#### Background and impact

A dedicated Elastic Agent sends cluster telemetry to AutoOps. New agent releases can include stability fixes, telemetry improvements, and compatibility updates that help AutoOps evaluate your cluster accurately.
When that agent stays behind the recommended version, AutoOps can receive less complete data and miss reliability improvements. As a result, other insights can become less accurate until the agent is upgraded.
