What should be reviewed before updating the OneAgent version on a host?

Reviewing the supported technologies and versions before updating the OneAgent version on a host is essential because it ensures compatibility with the applications and environments monitored by Dynatrace. Each version of OneAgent is designed to work seamlessly with specific technologies and software configurations, and an update might introduce incompatibilities if the current setup does not align with the new agent's requirements.

Understanding the supported technologies means you can take full advantage of new features and performance improvements included in the latest version of OneAgent. Additionally, this knowledge helps prevent potential disruptions in monitoring or functionality that could arise if unsupported technologies are in use.

By confirming that the technologies and versions in your environment are compatible with the OneAgent version you intend to install, you can safeguard against issues that would hinder the monitoring process and ensure a smooth update experience. This proactive measure ultimately helps maintain system stability and performance.
