Upgrading an existing eNcore Add-on

I copied and created a new question here from another thread, so hopefully this has some inputs. My questions are as the following:

  • With the eNcore Add-on already installed on a Heavy Forwarder, wouldn't deploying an updated Add-On via a Deployment Server makes the existing "data" directory becomes empty again since it will be overwritten by the copy from the Deployment Server?

  • How can I do so without affecting the existing "data" directory or it doesn't matter since the logs had been ingested?

  • Lastly, what's the impact of the "data" directory becomes empty? Will the logs be downloading in real-time from the FMC or does the Add-on download logs that had been in the FMC for x number of hours (example)?

Thanks everyone in advance.
