Version 8.12.0 of the agent delivers new Elasticsearch instrumentation, increases the default number of recorded Custom Events, announces the deprecation of Ruby 2.3, and brings some valuable code cleanup.
Support for Elasticsearch instrumentation
This release adds support to automatically instrument the elasticsearch gem. Versions 7.x and 8.x are supported. PR#1525
Configuration name
Default
Behavior
instrumentation.elasticsearch
auto
Controls auto-instrumentation of the elasticsearch library at start up. May be one of auto, prepend, chain, disabled.
elasticsearch.capture_queries
true
If true, the agent captures Elasticsearch queries in transaction traces.
elasticsearch.obfuscate_queries
true
If true, the agent obfuscates Elasticsearch queries in transaction traces.
Custom Event Limit Increase
This version increases the default limit of custom events from 1000 events per minute to 3000 events per minute. In the scenario that custom events were being limited, this change will allow more custom events to be sent to New Relic. There is also a new configurable maximum limit of 100,000 events per minute. To change the limits, see the documentation for max_samples_stored. To learn more about the change and how to determine if custom events are being dropped, see our Explorers Hub post. PR#1541
Deprecate support for Ruby 2.3
Ruby 2.3 reached end of life on March 31, 2019. The Ruby agent has deprecated support for Ruby 2.3 and will make breaking changes for this version in its next major release, v9.0.0 (release date not yet planned). All 8.x.x versions of the agent will remain compatible with Ruby 2.3.
Cleanup: Remove orphaned code
In both the agent and unit tests, changes have taken place over the years that have left certain bits of code unreachable. This orphaned code can complicate code maintenance and refactoring, so getting it squared away can be very helpful. Commmuniy member @ohbarye contributed two separate cleanup PRs for this release; one for the agent and one for the tests. PR#1537PR#1548
Thank you to @ohbarye for contributing this helpful cleanup!
v8.11.0
Version 8.11.0 of the agent updates the newrelic deployments command to work with API keys issued to newer accounts, fixes a memory leak in the instrumentation of Curb error handling, further preps for Ruby 3.2.0 support, and includes several community member driven cleanup and improvement efforts. Thank you to everyone involved!
Added support for New Relic REST API v2 when using newrelic deployments command
Previously, the newrelic deployments command only supported the older version of the deployments api, which does not currently support newer license keys. Now you can use the New Relic REST API v2 to record deployments by providing your user API key to the agent configuration using api_key. When this configuration option is present, the newrelic deployments command will automatically use the New Relic REST API v2 deployment endpoint. PR#1461
Thank you to @Arkham for bringing this to our attention!
Cleanup: Performance tests, constants, rubocop-minitest assertions and refutations
Community member @esquith contributed a whole slew of cleanup successes for our performance test configuration, orphaned constants in our code base, and RuboCop related improvements. PR#1406PR#1408PR#1409PR#1411
Thank you @esquith for these great contributions!
