v6.7.0
Trace and Entity Metadata API
Several new API methods have been added to the agent:
These API methods allow you to access information that can be used to link data of your choosing to a trace or entity.
Logs in Context
This version of the agent includes a logger, which can be used in place of
::Logger
from the standard library, orActiveSupport::Logger
from Rails. This logger leverages the new trace and entity metadata API to decorate log statements with entity and trace metadata, so they can be correlated together in the New Relic UI.For more information on how to use logs in context, see https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/enable-logs-context-ruby
Project metadata in Gemspec
Project metadata has been added to the gemspec file. This means our Rubygems page will allow users to more easily access the agent's source code, raise issues, and read the changelog.
Thanks to Orien Madgwick for the contribution!
