07/1989 (SEAN 14:07) Fumarolic activity
11/1989 (SEAN 14:11) Occasional seismicity but solfatara field quiet
03/2003 (BGVN 28:03) Hot-spots located outside the summit crater are most likely due to fires
07/1989 (SEAN 14:07) Fumarolic activity
Fumarolic and solfataric activity (restricted to the crater) emitted a thin white plume periodically seen from the observatory. In late July, 69 tectonic, three volcanic A-type, and six volcanic B-type events were recorded.

11/1989 (SEAN 14:11) Occasional seismicity but solfatara field quiet
Observations from both Rendang (S) and Budakeling (N) Observatories revealed neither white plumes from the solfatara field nor collapses of loose material from the inner crater wall. No explosion sounds from the crater have been heard. An earthquake was felt (MM I) on 9 June; 59 tectonic and two volcanic shocks [were] recorded in November.

03/2003 (BGVN 28:03) Hot-spots located outside the summit crater are most likely due to fires
Thermal anomalies were detected by MODIS throughout 2001 and 2002 in zones proximal to the summit of Agung. The first alert occurred on 23 September 2001 when two alert-pixels were detected with a maximum alert ratio of -0.789. Larger anomalies were detected on 12 August 2002 (two alert-pixels with maximum alert ratio of -0.429) and 5 October 2002 (one alert-pixel with alert ratio of -0.536). All the alerts seem to occur outside the summit crater, with the possible exception of 5 October 2002, and are more likely to represent fires than volcanic activity.
No volcanic activity has been reported recently by the Volcanological Survey of Indonesia.
