How to Update Installed New Relic Monitoring Add-on?<\/h2>\n

To stay up-to-date with the latest New Relic monitoring features, the platform includes a built-in update option for its dedicated add-on.<\/p>\n

This option automatically checks for the latest agent versions in the relevant repositories and allows you to update them with just a few clicks, eliminating the need for manual intervention. Now, let\u2019s take a look at how to do this!<\/p>\n

\"Update<\/a><\/p>\n

New Relic Agent Update<\/h2>\n

To check for updates for your New Relic agent, go to the Add-ons<\/strong> section for the relevant node and find the New Relic plank.<\/p>\n

Click the gear icon in the top corner and select the Update Agent<\/strong> option from the list.<\/p>\n

In the dialog box that appears, confirm the update check by clicking Yes<\/strong> and wait for the platform to complete the process.<\/p>\n

\"Confirm<\/a><\/p>\n

If updates are available, the necessary files will be downloaded and installed.<\/p>\n

\"Performing<\/a><\/p>\n

Once the add-on is updated, a pop-up will appear in the top right corner of the dashboard, recommending you restart the instance for the changes to take effect.<\/p>\n

Follow this recommendation by clicking the appropriate button next to your application server.<\/p>\n

\"Restart<\/a><\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> If your project runs on a single app server node, restarting will cause temporary downtime, so choose an appropriate time for this operation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

If your app server is horizontally scaled, downtime will be minimized as each server instance will be restarted sequentially.<\/p>\n

Starting with version 4.9 PaaS, you can set a delay for restarting each node within a layer, ensuring some nodes remain active during maintenance.<\/p>\n

And that’s it! The New Relic add-on has been upgraded and is now operational.<\/p>\n

To check the current version of your agent:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • For Java servers:<\/strong> Check the logs\/newrelic_agent.log<\/strong> file in the add-on files directory (see the server-specific path list).<\/li>\n
  • For PHP servers:<\/strong> Use the phpinfo()<\/strong> output.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    So this is how you’ll remain up to date with the newest features and improvements provided by the New Relic team.<\/p>\n
