Other: Automated Proxy Agent and HVA Upgrade Capability
PlannedHi Fivetran Team,
We have recently encountered multiple Proxy Agent issues (for example, #331658 and #330951) where the recommended resolution has been to upgrade the agent version. The Proxy Agent is used for non–NextGen-hosted clients, and we currently support 131 client environments that rely on this setup.
Under the current model, upgrading the Proxy Agent and HVA requires a manual update on each individual source machine. Performing and coordinating these upgrades across a large number of independent client environments introduces significant operational overhead, requires substantial coordination effort, and increases the time required to apply fixes consistently. As our client footprint grows, this approach becomes increasingly difficult to scale.
Feature Request
We are requesting an automated or centrally managed Proxy Agent and HVA upgrade capability that would allow agent upgrades to be initiated and managed without requiring manual intervention on each client machine.
Business Value
-
Significantly reduces operational and coordination overhead
-
Enables faster adoption of fixes and improvements
-
Improves consistency and reliability across client environments
-
Provides a more scalable upgrade model as the client base grows
Please let us know if any additional details are needed to support this request.
Thanks,
Amar

Hi Amar,
Thank you for submitting this feature request. This is a valuable idea, and it has been added to our feature improvements backlog.
We are planning to:
(1) ship proxy agent separately from the HVA installer as a docker image. The proxy agent is in process of being separated from HVA installer.
(2) using the latest docker image will allow you to be on the latest proxy agent version
note that breaking changes would require intervention, of course, but any release containing additive features / bug fixes etc would not.Any progress or updates will be shared on this thread so the community is aware.
Thanks,
Pieter
