Upgrading java agent from 4.4.3 to 4.5.14

Chris_LaMendola · ‎02-10-2020

I'm trying to understand the upgrade process for a java agent from 4.4.3 to 4.5.15. I found this documentation, which makes it look pretty straight forward. Backup the existing install, copy down the new binaries, and then copy the config files from the old to the new. Is that it? Do we need to worry about data corruption or anything on the controller side by just switching agent versions?

Chris,

The upgrade should proceed as documented. There should be no risk to the integrity of the historical data held in the controller.

Warm regards,

Peter
