What are the Advantages of switching from Classic Agent to Appmon Agent?
hi All,
Is there any pros/cons of switching from classic agent to Appmon Agent?
Also, In the below documentation link it has been mentioned that from
For AppMon 2018 October the AppMon Agent is the default platform. All the newly created System Profiles use it by default.

Does that mean if we upgrade our Appmon from v7.0 to v7.1 and if we apply any new Fix Pack of October 2018 will make the Agents platform switch automatically or Are we expecting any new version release in October 2018?
Thanks,
Sree
