# Upgrading Tableau

When upgrading a Tableau Server installation that is monitored by Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool, there are a few additional steps that need to be followed.

## Ensure Resource Monitoring Tool supports the new Tableau version

Before upgrading Tableau, you’ll want to make sure that the version of Resource Monitoring Tool you have installed supports the version of Tableau that you are upgrading to.

The quickest way to check is to log in to the Resource Monitoring Tool web interface and navigate to the _Admin_ | _Environments_ screen. Edit the environment you are upgrading and check the _Tableau Version_ drop down for the version you are upgrading to.

## Stop Agents

Resource Monitoring Tool agents should be stopped while you upgrade Tableau Server. Follow these steps on each machine in your Tableau Server cluster:

1. Click _Start_, click in the search box, type `services.msc`, and then press ENTER.
2. Find Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool Agent service and right-click on it.
3. Click _Stop_ in the context menu.
