Python agent v2.60.0.46

Notes

This release of the Python agent enables the ability to add Custom Insights Events through a new record_custom_event() API.

The agent can be installed using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or can be downloaded directly from our download site.

For a list of known issues with the Python agent, see Status of the Python agent.

New Feature

• Custom Events

Prior to this release, the Python agent had the capability to record two types of Insights events automatically: Transaction and TransactionError events. In addition, custom attributes could be added to those events. Now, with the addition of the record_custom_event() API, it is possible to define your own custom event types, enabling greater flexibility about what types of events you can view and query in Insights.

For details, see the Insights documentation on Inserting Custom Events.

Changed Feature

• Attributes renamed

Two attributes have been renamed, in order to be consistent with the naming convention of other New Relic agents. The affected attributes are:

• response.headers.contentLength (was response.contentLength)
• response.headers.contentType (was response.contentType)
