How do I know which update I am currently running on my device? And what are the additional details about any update that is recent deployed?
Thanks in advance.

The devices section of the mender server should show you what version of system software you are currently running on each device.
On the client side, i believe the installed artifact name/version is stored in a file locally, and there is a mender client command line option to get the current installed artifact name.

I did find artifact\_info file inside /etc/mender directory but the artifact\_name is always ‘unknown’. I made sure that I have an $ARTIFACT\_NAME while using artifact generator command to create a .mender artifact.
Is there another location for the artifact\_info ?

You can run `mender -show-artifact` to show which Artifact is installed. The `artifact_info` file is deprecated.

I would like to use the artifact\_name for some use case. How do I extract the name ?
And where do I find those things that aren’t in the documentation?

The command `mender -show-artifact` will print it for you.
