Fleet Automation can centrally manage remote upgrades to the SDKs that power APM, Continuous Profiler, Dynamic Instrumentation, and more. Keeping your services’ SDK versions up to date lets you benefit from the latest features, performance improvements, bug fixes, and security updates.

Prerequisites

• Services must be instrumented with Single Step Instrumentation (SSI).
• Services must be running on Linux or Windows VMs. Remotely upgrading SDKs in containerized or Kubernetes environments is not supported.

Upgrade SDK versions

1. In Fleet Automation, open the Upgrade Agents tab and click Upgrade Now.

2. Select the SDK language and version. You can update one language SDK at a time.

3. Select the hosts to upgrade. Filter by host information or tags to target a specific group.

4. Review the deployment plan and click Upgrade Hosts to start the upgrade.

5. Restart the services to start using the upgraded SDKs.
