Agent Platform switch
For easy migration from existing installations, every 6.x (or later) Bootstrap Agent is capable to switch back and forth between Classic Agent and the AppMon Agent. There is no need to re-configure the Agent injection. The switch of the agent platforms can be simply triggered in the AppMon Client.

Before you migrate your production environment, make sure that:
- The AppMon Agent meets your existing requirements and supports your technology.

- 8043, 9998 for the Agent-Collector connection.
- 8041, 6699 for the Collector-AppMon Server connection.

- Your AppMon Server and Client are version 2017 May or later.
