An administrator manages 200 Java microservices deployed as containers in Kubernetes. They need to upgrade the AppDynamics Java agent from 22.1 to 22.6 across all services with minimal manual effort and no downtime. Which approach should they use?

Download the agent zip, extract it to a shared volume, and mount it into all pods at runtime.

Use the Controller's Agent Management feature to push the new agent to all Kubernetes nodes.

Update the base container image that includes the agent and rebuild/redeploy the microservices using the existing CI/CD pipeline.

SSH into each running container and replace the agent JAR files, then restart each container manually.

An administrator upgrades the .NET Agent on a Windows server from 21.10 to 22.3. After the upgrade, the agent appears in the Controller, but the application pool crashes intermittently. The administrator suspects the new agent is causing the issue. What is the best first step to confirm this?

Check the Windows Event Viewer and the agent log for .NET agent-related errors or crash details.

Immediately roll back to the previous agent version.

Disable the agent and see if the crashes stop.

Increase the application pool's memory limit to prevent crashes.

After replacing an AppDynamics agent's files, what is the next step in the upgrade process?

Restart the application server to load the new agent.

Update the Controller's agent version setting.

Reconfigure the agent's application name.

An administrator upgrades the Machine Agent on a Linux server from 20.8 to 22.1. After restarting the agent service, the agent does not appear in the Controller. The administrator checks the agent log and sees a 'connection refused' error. What is the most likely cause?

The agent version is not compatible with the Controller version.

The agent's configuration file was corrupted during the upgrade.

The Machine Agent service failed to start due to a missing Java runtime.

The Controller hostname or port in the agent configuration is incorrect or unreachable.

A company uses AppDynamics Machine Agent 20.10 on Linux VMs. They want to upgrade to 22.5. The team also uses the AWS CloudWatch monitoring extension. What must the administrator verify before upgrading?

That the Controller version is at least 22.5.

That the Linux kernel version is supported by Machine Agent 22.5.

That the CloudWatch extension version is compatible with Machine Agent 22.5.

That the VMs have at least 4 GB of RAM available.
