New Relic PHP agent v11.8.0.22
New features
- feat(agent): Add AWS DynamoDB Instrumentation
Security
- security(daemon): bump golang to 1.24.2
- security(daemon): bump golang.org/x/net from 0.36.0 to 0.38.0
Notice
The default Code Level Metrics configuration will change in an upcoming release from enabled to disabled.
If you do not use Code Level Metrics, you should see no impact and will not have to take any action.
If you do rely on Code Level Metrics, ensure that your newrelic.ini configuration file has the
newrelic.code_level_metrics.enabled INI setting uncommented and set to true.
e.g:
newrelic.code_level_metrics.enabled = true
This change only impacts the default configuration value. Manually set configuration values will be honored, and core CLM behavior will remain unaffected.
Support statement
- New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly and at a minimum every 3 months. For more information on supported agent versions and EOL timelines, check out our New Relic PHP Agent EOL policy.
- The PHP agent compatibility and requirements page should be consulted for the latest information on supported PHP versions and platforms.
Important
For installations using an unsupported PHP version or platform, it's highly recommended that you disable the auto-update mechanisms for the PHP agent packages. This can be done by adding the PHP agent packages to an exclusion list for package upgrades. Or you could version pin the PHP agent package to an agent version that supports the old, unsupported feature(s). Failure to prevent upgrades may result in a newer agent release being installed and the removal of support for the required, unsupported features. This would disrupt APM data collection.
The PHP agent packages that are affected are:
- newrelic-php5
- newrelic-php5-common
- newrelic-daemon
