Upgrade: 3.57 --> 3.7.11

[CommunityUser]

Hello,

My client has an On-Premise controller which runs 3.5.7 version,  3 .Net agents and 1 PHP agent. 

We would like to upgrade his system to the latest version, Iknow that first we should upgrade the controller, then the agents. 

I am aware that the .config files were merged to a single file. 

What are the best practices, tasts to perform before starting the upgrade? 

Thanks, Nir

Hi Nir,

>> Following is the document which outlines the steps for upgrading .Net Agent to release which uses new configuration(3.7.8 and later)

http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Upgrade+the+App+Agent+%28.NET%29

Note : Running the installer would automatically migrate the old config for IIS Apps and Windows Service into the new config. 

>> In case you want to monitor Thick Client Apps (Win Forms, WPF, Console) you can follow this document

http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Enable+the+App+Agent+for+.NET+for+Standalone+Applications

>> In case you are not already instrumenting Windows Services and would like to do so then use following document

http://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO13S/Enable+the+App+Agent+for+.NET+for+Windows+Services

You would also need to upgrade the Controller to version 3.7.x

Also go through following if applicable
