Go agent release notes | New Relic Documentation

March 17, 2017

Fixed incorrect metric rule application when the metric rule is flagged to terminate and matches but the name is unchanged.
Segment.End(), DatastoreSegment.End(), and ExternalSegment.End() methods now return an error which may be helpful in diagnosing situations where segment data is unexpectedly missing.

Added support for slow query traces. Slow datastore segments will now generate slow query traces viewable on the datastore tab. These traces include a stack trace and help you to debug slow datastore activity.
Added new DatastoreSegment fields ParameterizedQuery, QueryParameters, Host, PortPathOrID, and DatabaseName. These fields will be shown in transaction traces and in slow query traces.

Added support for instrumenting short-lived processes:
- The new Application.Shutdown method allows applications to report data to New Relic without waiting a full minute.
- The new Application.WaitForConnection method allows your process to defer instrumentation until the application is connected and ready to gather data.
- Full documentation here: application.go
- Example short-lived process: examples/short-lived-process/main.go
Error metrics are no longer created when ErrorCollector.Enabled = false.
Added support for http://wwwgithub.com/mgutz/logxi. See https://github.com/newrelic/go-agent/blob/master/_integrations/nrlogxi/v1/nrlogxi.go.
Fixed bug where Transaction Trace thresholds based upon Apdex were not being applied to background transactions.
