Before you begin, review the Release Notes for changes that affect your environment. If you are upgrading both the Controller and agents, first upgrade the Controller and then upgrade the Java Agents.

Also, if upgrading multiple agents in your monitored environment, upgrade the agents for the tiers on which business transactions are originated last. For more information about this requirement, along with Controller and agent compatibility information, see Agent and Controller Tenant Compatibility.

Upgrading the agent requires a restart of the application server.

An agent upgrade requires no action on the Controller.

Before starting, download the latest version of the Java Agent for your JVM from the Splunk AppDynamicsDownload Center.
