How to install the new version?

  • Use the installers to install the new version. Best practice is to use a new folder for the installation and integrate the version of inspectIT into the folder name.


Necessary adaptions

  • Instrumentation configurations that have been exported with previous version of inspectIT will not work with the newest version. There is a need for a small manual adaptation:
    1. Open your exported .xml file
    2. Locate the schemaVersion attribute in one of the exported environments or profiles

    3. If attribute exists add the located attribute and it's value to the root XML element configuration-interface-import-data

      <configuration-interface-import-data schemaVersion="4">
  • The key of the inspectIT tag header used in the load testing changed to inspectit_tag, thus update to load tests is necessary if you used tagging option. Note that this change enables tag propagation to all the JVMs that interact in the request coming from the load testing tool (based on new tracing support).

Things that will not work anymore
