Upgrade the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension

When you click on the Extensions tab for your web app, the Microsoft Azure Portal displays the currently installed version of the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension. The Update Available column of the installed extensions list indicates if there is a more recent minor release of the .NET Agent available. If so, you can click to update the extension from the list.

Upgrade a Major Version of the .NET Agent

Splunk AppDynamics maintains major release versions of the .NET Agent as separate site extensions. Therefore you need to uninstall the installed version of the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension before you upgrade to a new major release:
  1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
  2. Stop your web app.
  3. Click on the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension from the list of installed extensions and click Delete to uninstall it.
  4. Install the new version of the Splunk AppDynamics Azure Site Extension as normal.
    Note: If you are upgrading from .NET Agent 4.2 and you used environment variable configuration, you must update your web app environment variables. See Configure the Agent Using Environment Variables. Note that the APPD_UNATTENDED variable is no longer required.
