BUpgrade the EUM agents.

Suggested Answer: A

To add a custom extension to a Machine Agent, you need at least three artifacts: a directory, a jar or script file, and a monitor.xml file12. The directory is where you place your extension files under the <machine_agent_home>/monitors directory. The jar or script file is the executable file that collects and reports the custom metrics to the Machine Agent. The monitor.xml file is the configuration file that defines the name, frequency, and parameters of your extension.You can also optionally include other files such as libraries, configuration files, or templates for your extension12.Reference:Build a Monitoring Extension Using Scripts,Extensions and Custom Metrics
