Azure Self Hosted Agent - How to know when to upadte version?

Question

I am working with Azure DevOps Services on Self Hosted Agents.

Recently The Agent Stopped Working after more than 4 months.

Everything was looking ok when checking the Agents Page. All Pipeline were Queued, but no Agent was busy all was idle After Checking and rebooting agent i checked version of downloaded agent

And Then Updated to new agent version manually - and problem was solved.

1. Any way to get notified when i must update agent version?
2. Auto Update Didn't work - is there a place where i can view the log of the update?

Thanks
