Problem
In New Relic Ruby agent version 6.0.0, a number of APIs that were not publicly supported were deprecated or deleted. If you use any of the deleted methods, you must update your API with the recommended replacement before upgrading to Ruby agent version 6.0.0 or higher. If you use any of the deprecated methods, we recommend updating your API as soon as possible to ensure compatibility with versions of the agent higher than 6.0.0.
Solution
Update your API with the following recommended replacements:
External.start_segment-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.start_external_request_segment Transaction.create_segment-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.start_segment Transaction.start-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.start_transaction_or_segment Transaction.start_datastore_segment-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.start_datastore_segment Transaction.start_segment-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.start_segment Transaction.wrap-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.in_transaction TransactionState.current_transaction-
Replace with
NewRelic::Agent::Tracer.current_transaction
