Compatibility

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

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


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