Make it easier to spot agents with out of date versions of the agent software

This would have helped us deal with / detect this problem: http://support.thoughtworks.com/requests/14014

We had to use scripts to examine each of our machines using ssh to query the version of the agent software on each. This was timely and difficult as they are on a variety of networks (yes, I know about Ansible ;) ).

It would be very useful if there was something in the logs, or ideally a warning on the front end to tell us that there are out of date agents.

  Hi Mark,

  This info is not available since it is assumed that user does not have to worry about the version of the Agent at all. Go will take care of upgrading agents when there is a new version available.

  May be having Agent bootstrapper version makes sense since that needs a manual upgrade. We will discuss this further & keep you posted.

  Regards,

  Srinivas

  Yes my apologies—I meant the agent bootstrapper. Thanks.
