Python agent v9.11.0

June 13, 2024Download

Notes

This release of the Python agent adds agent_language to lambda metadata, support for injecting the agent into Kubernetes, support for psycopg 3.0+, optimizes plugins list capturing, fixes the Large Language Model event duration units, a crash in ASGI when the Content-Length header is missing, a crash when using OpenAI's .with_raw_response. and .with_streaming_response..

Install the agent using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or download it directly from the New Relic download site.

New features

  • Add agent_language to lambda metadata

    • Add agent_language to collected lambda metadata.
  • Optimize plugins list capturing

    • Skip checking for a package version on newrelic hooks that we know do not have versions.
  • Add support for injecting the agent into Kubernetes

    • Updates the bootstrap sitecustomize file to support injecting the agent into a Kubernetes cluster.
    • A full product for agent injection in Kubernetes will be coming soon in public preview.
    • A new informational only setting called k8s_operator.enabled (with NEW_RELIC_K8S_OPERATOR_ENABLED as an environment variable) was added, which is used to report when the agent is injected into a Kubernetes cluster. This setting does not enable/disable this function of the agent.
  • Add support for psycopg 3.0+

    • New instrumentation for psycopg 3.0+ has been added, providing database tracing for both the Connection and AsyncConnection classes.

Bug fixes

  • Fix Large Language Model event duration units

    • Previously, durations on LLM events were recorded in seconds which did not match some of the other language agents. This has been changed to be milliseconds.
  • Fix crash when using OpenAI's .with_raw_response.

    • Previously, an exception would be raised inside the instrumentation when .with_raw_response. was used. This no longer happens, the instrumentation successfuly records LLM data when .with_raw_response. is used.
  • Fix crash when using OpenAI's .with_streaming_response.

    • Previously, an exception would be raised inside the instrumentation when .with_streaming_response. was used. This no longer happens, the instrumentation is just skipped.
  • Fix a crash in ASGI when the Content-Length header is missing

    • Previously, an exception would be raised inside the instrumentation that injects the browser agent when an ASGI response was missing the Content-Length header. This issue has been fixed.

Support statement

We recommend updating to the latest agent version as soon as it's available. If you can't upgrade to the latest version, update your agents to a version no more than 90 days old. Read more about keeping agents up to date.
