Methods to upgrade Java agent
Java agent can be upgraded in 2 ways:
- Auto Upgrade
- Manual Upgrade
Auto Upgrade:
- This feature is available only from version 1.9
- When this feature is enabled, the latest version of the agent is automatically downloaded and deployed whenever it is made available
- After the deployment process is complete, you will be requested to restart your application server. Once the server is restarted, the updated version will come into effect
- To enable this feature, go to APM Insight > Choose your APM application > Edit option > Edit APM Agent Configuration Profile > Enable Agent Auto-Upgrade.
NOTE: Auto upgrade feature will only work for major version changes in agent. Minor changes will not be covered in this.
Manual Upgrade:
- By default, auto-upgrade option is disabled. When a new version of the agent is available, users will be notified in the APM Instance view.
- Users can initiate the upgrade process by clicking on Update Agent link in the above said notification. On doing so, the latest version will be downloaded and deployed
- After the deployment process is complete, you will be requested to restart your application server. Once the server is restarted, the updated version will take effect.
