What should you do with applications after installing OneAgent on a host?

After installing OneAgent on a host, it is essential to restart the applications if required. This step is important because the OneAgent needs to instrument the running processes in order to provide real-time monitoring and insights into the application's performance and behavior. Depending on the application and how it interacts with the host's environment, a restart may be necessary for OneAgent to inject the necessary monitoring code properly.

If the applications are not restarted following the installation of OneAgent, they might not benefit from the enhanced monitoring capabilities that OneAgent provides, which could lead to incomplete or inaccurate performance data. Thus, ensuring that the applications are restarted will enable the OneAgent to effectively track performance metrics and application diagnostics right from the startup phase.

Updating the applications immediately may not be necessary and can potentially disrupt operations. Running a performance analysis without the proper instrumentation could lead to misleading or inaccurate data. Removing applications from the server is also counterproductive as the intent is usually to monitor and analyze them with the OneAgent installed.
