Compatibility

SkyWalking 8.0+ uses v3 protocols. Agents don’t have to keep the identical versions as the OAP backend.

Ecosystem Agents

All following agent implementations are a part of the SkyWalking ecosystem. All the source codes and their distributions don’t belong to the Apache Software Foundation.

All these projects are maintained by their own communities, and please reach them if you face any compatibility issues.


All above compatibility are only references, and if you face an unimplemented error, it means you need to upgrade the OAP backend to support newer features in the agents.
