A company runs a Java application on WebSphere 8.5.5 and uses AppDynamics Java Agent 4.5. They plan to upgrade to the latest 22.x agent. The WebSphere version is no longer supported by the vendor, and the team cannot upgrade the application server this quarter. What should the administrator do first?

Download the latest agent and replace the agent files in the WebSphere lib directory, then restart the server.

Upgrade WebSphere to a supported version before touching the agent, since the agent upgrade requires a newer application server.

Check the AppDynamics agent-to-platform compatibility matrix to confirm WebSphere 8.5.5 is still supported by the target agent version.

Use the Agent Management feature in the Controller to push the new agent to all WebSphere nodes automatically.

A company runs a critical Java application on WebSphere 8.5.5. They use AppDynamics Java Agent 4.5. The security team mandates an upgrade to a 22.x agent due to a CVE. The compatibility matrix shows WebSphere 8.5.5 is NOT supported by 22.x. The application cannot be migrated to a supported server for 6 months. The administrator must maintain monitoring. What is the best course of action?

Upgrade to the highest 4.5.x patch version that is still supported and document the risk.

Migrate the application to a supported server immediately, even though it is not planned for 6 months.

Upgrade to 22.x anyway, accepting the unsupported configuration to meet the security mandate.

Disable the agent and rely on infrastructure monitoring until the migration.

After upgrading the Java agent on a WebLogic server, the administrator restarts the server. The agent appears in the Controller, but business transactions are not being reported. What should the administrator check first?

Check if the WebLogic server is reachable from the Controller.

Restart the WebLogic server again to force the agent to re-register.

Confirm that the agent version is displayed in the Controller.

Verify that the agent's instrumentation configuration (e.g., custom match rules or POJO definitions) is still intact after the upgrade.
