Hello,
It's been over a year since we updated our agents installed on our Windows Tomcat instances. Which agent I need to download to get the most current version?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
Hi,
Before updating agents, verify your controller version. In AppDynamics the controller should have the major version, every agent should have an equual/lower version. The version is visible in the lower side of the logon screen:
or with a browser/curl you could read the server status and your current version:
curl http://controller-ip:8090/controller/rest/serverstatus
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<serverstatus vendorid="" version="1">
<available>true</available>
<serverid></serverid>
<serverinfo>
<vendorname>AppDynamics</vendorname>
<productname>AppDynamics Application Performance Management</productname>
<serverversion>004-002-005-001</serverversion>
<implementationVersion>Controller v4.2.5.1 Build 37-4.2.5.next-build Commit 03b1074a2cf7999047b67187eca7fbb54d1068bb</implementationVersion>
</serverinfo>
<startupTimeInSeconds>61</startupTimeInSeconds>
If you're behind the latest version, my recommendation is to upgrade the controller. Go to http://download.appdynamics.com/ and get the latest versions (4.2.5.2) . Controller upgrade is easy, provided you have a backup, see https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Upgrade+the+Controller.
After upgrading, upgrade the agents downloading the new version, copy configuration in controller-info.xml and restart them. Keep in mind the agents from version 4.1 & up require you provide account-name and account-access-key in controller-info.xml or in the command line.
Hope it helps, regards,
Luis
