Dynatrace Restarts after one agent update

jchrisw — Wed, 21 Sep 2022 08:18:15 GMT

The customer is behind a few one-agent updates because they do not want to restart their servers once the update is complete. Is it ok to restart the one-agent process without restarting the entire server? So that they can take advantage of the new update.

thanks

yes, you can also restart processes/service one by one without having to restart the entire host.

Thank you for the quick reply, is there a way to know exactly what processes to restart for the one agent update?

There is 🙂 so navigate to the host page of the host in question, any process with a Info Icon or Triangle are restart candidates that will require restarts to gain any new features.

That restart button will not restart the process on the host FYI
