Update the .NET agent

How to update the APM .NET agent.

Check your .NET agent version

  1. Refer to the release notes to find the latest version of the agent.
  2. Check the version of the .NET agent you currently have installed by using Windows Programs and Features or by using your Linux package manager.

Before you start

There are several ways you can install the .NET agent, which means there are several ways to update it. In this doc, we focus on the update procedures for the simplest installations, with the .NET agent installed directly on a Windows or Linux host.

If you have other installations, see these install docs for those setups for more context:

Windows and Linux installs

Follow the update instructions for your agent:

Update the .NET agent (Windows)

Important

Before updating:

  • Updating the agent requires Administrator rights in your Windows admin group. For more information, see the permissions documentation.
  • If your agent version is lower than 7.0 or you are using .NET Framework version 4.0 or lower, see Update legacy .NET agent.
  • If your application is hosted in IIS, be sure to stop IIS before updating the .NET agent.

Update the .NET agent (Linux)

Important

For .NET agent versions 10.0.0 or higher, the name of the package is newrelic-dotnet-agent. For .NET agent versions 9.9.0 or lower, the name of the package is newrelic-netcore20-agent. The rest of this document refers to newrelic-dotnet-agent; replace this with the older name if you've an older agent version installed. When you update to version 10.0.0 or higher from a lower one, you'll need to change the CORECLR_NEWRELIC_HOME and CORECLR_PROFILER_PATH environment variables due to the package name change.

Use one of the following methods to update to the latest version of the .NET agent of New Relic:

Update older .NET Framework agents (lower than 7.0)
