AppDynamics makes new releases available every 6 weeks. Our goal is for all customers to be on the latest release so they have access to the latest features and fixes.
Note: You must have a current contract for access to SaaS maintenance.
AppDynamics will strive to upgrade your pre-production Controller before your production Controller.
For older Controller environments with mixed pre-production and production Controllers in the same environment, we are not always able to upgrade pre-production first.
The following table shows all maintenance windows, by region.

The typical maintenance window is 2 hours.
There is typically no downtime of the Controller during upgrade maintenance. Logged-in user sessions will expire and force users to sign in again.
There is not typically a gap in metric data — however, customers may occasionally see up to a 2-minute gap when the old and new Controller instances are swapped out.
The SaaS Service Status displays data related to your upgrade schedule. You can find it at appdynamics.com/support, by clicking the Service Status button in the top right corner of the page. See Where can I view the SaaS Service Status? for step-by-step instructions.
Note: To see SaaS service status details, you need to be:
- Associated with a license
- Logged in to www.appdynamics.com
Customers can be notified in two ways:
Customers register to opt-in or opt-out for email notifications at the individual level. Here are the instructions for how to opt-in.
For planned maintenance, AppDynamics uses the following maintenance and upgrades policy to alert customers:
In the event of an issue during the maintenance window, the AppDynamics operations team will notify you within that timeframe, rather than waiting until the window closes.
AppDynamics operations team will notify you if an upgrade needs to be re-scheduled, or if an upgrade is attempted and could not be completed.
If you have questions or concerns, please create a ticket on the Support Portal, at https://www.appdynamics.com/support/.
Is this page still current and accurate? It is dated November 2018. Are upgrades for major releases still done only on a yearly basis? Thank you.
