editUpgrade a self-installation of APM Server standalone to 8.15.5
editThis upgrade guide is for the standalone method of running APM Server. Only use this guide if both of the following are true:
- You have a self-installation of the Elastic Stack, i.e. you’re not using Elastic Cloud.
- You’re running the APM Server binary, i.e. you haven’t switched to the Elastic APM integration.
Prerequisites
edit-
Prior to upgrading to version 8.15.5, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and APM Server must be upgraded to version 7.17.
- To upgrade Elasticsearch and Kibana, see the Elastic Stack Installation and Upgrade Guide
- To upgrade APM Server to version 7.17, see upgrade to version 7.17.
- Review the APM release notes, breaking changes, and Observability What’s new content.

Review your configuration file
Some settings have been removed or changed. You may need to update your
