Upgrade a self-installation of APM Server standalone to 8.17.3
editUpgrade a self-installation of APM Server standalone to 8.17.3
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

Prior to upgrading to version 8.17.3, 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.
