Node.js agent v1.1.0

Important

The end-of-life date for this agent version is July 29, 2019. To update to the latest agent version, see Update the agent. For more information, see End-of-life policy.

Notes:

  • Added a new call to the API, .noticeError. See the docs for details, but unlike the other calls on the API, you can use this to pass off errors anywhere in your app, not just from within web requests.
  • Ignoring slow (or polling) requests was only being applied to slow transaction traces. It now applies to metrics and transactions that end in errors.
  • MongoDB, Redis and Memcached now honor the capture_params and ignored_params settings.
  • New Relic for Node.js, like New Relic's other agents, has a sophisticated system for repeatedly trying to connect to New Relic's servers when the first attempt results in failure. This had been broken since (roughly) January. It works again now.
  • The built-in debugging for the transaction tracer was out of date with respect to the production tracer. This is fixed, and you're welcome to satisfy your curiosity by enabling it, but it's really not going to be useful to you unless you feel like taking the time to understand what the tracer is doing at a low level. Do not ever enable it in production, as it degrades the tracer's performance and generates a huge pile of objects per transaction.

Node.js agent v1.0.1

Important

The end-of-life date for this agent version is July 29, 2019. To update to the latest agent version, see Update the agent. For more information, see End-of-life policy.

Notes:

  • Added a new setIgnoreTransaction call to the exported API to allow explicit control over whether transactions should be ignored or not. Mark those polling routes to be ignored! Pull your crazy custom favicon.ico renderer out of the ignore list!
  • The module will no longer pollute MongoDB queries with New Relic-only parameters. Thanks to Alon Salant for identifying this issue, and all apologies to him for the trouble it caused him.
  • The instrumentation for MongoDB, memcached, Redis, and Express will now honor the setting of the capture_params configuration flag. Before the module always captured query parameters.
  • Fixed a problem that would cause New Relic for Node to fail on versions of Node between 0.8.0 and 0.8.3.
  • Upgraded to the newest version of continuation-local-storage, which has many fixes for dealing with monkeypatched EventEmitters.
