Notes
A new version of the agent has been released. Follow standard procedures to update your Infrastructure agent.
Added
- The agent now sends the integration name (
integrationName
) and version (integrationVersion
) when any events are generated.- For example, when using the Redis monitoring integration
integrationName
will be set tocom.newrelic.redis
andintegrationVersion
to1.4.0
- For example, when using the Redis monitoring integration
nri-flex
has been upgraded to versionv1.0.0
.- RPM packages generated now include the distribution name in the filename. For example:
- The RHEL8 package
newrelic-infra-<version>-1.x86_64.rpm
will now becomenewrelic-infra-<version>-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
when published.
- The RHEL8 package
Bug fixes
- The agent no longer panics on startup when reading corrupt caches files.
- When using new configuration format the agent would create inventory as
integration/<binary name>
rather thanintegration/<integration name>
breaking some charts. For better backwards compatibility the agent will now create inventory using the integration's name.- For example, when using the Redis monitoring integration before it would create inventory under
integration/nri-redis
but with the new update it will create it underinventory/com.newrelic.redis
- For example, when using the Redis monitoring integration before it would create inventory under
- Sample text fields are now truncated to 4095 characters. Before these fields would be rejected and so would never appear in New Relic. Now the fields will appear but will be truncated.
