Infrastructure agent release notesRSS

Notes

A new version of the agent has been released. Follow standard procedures to update your Infrastructure agent.

Features

• Now the Infrastructure agent, when running on Linux, can collect Docker container metrics like CPU, memory, I/O and network. This feature is enabled by default for all supported Linux OSs. Please, ensure the host meets the requirements.
• The new integration config files now support the when section. It allows you to control the execution of an integration if a given file exists. Here's an example:

integrations:
  - name: ssh-integration
    when:
      file_exists: /var/run/sshd.pid

The agent will execute ssh-integration only if the /var/run/sshd.pid file exists.

Bug fixes

• Agent service wasn't stopping / restarting properly on upstart-based Linux distributions.
• In Integration config files: Dollar symbols were unintentionally being expanded into environment variables. Before, pa$$word would have been expanded to pa${}${}word; this behavior has been corrected.
• Improved NFS support. Read and write bytes per second were not being correctly set to 0, resulting JSON marshalling errors.

Notes

Features

• Inventory body reporting the agent entity ID.

Bug fixes

• Supporting Overlay File Systems in the storage samples. Before agent 1.8.23, a device mapped from multiple overlay folders might not be reported as the parent partition but as any folder mounting it. Now the agent reports the parent mount folder.
• Removed confusing warning log message from the integrations' engine ignoring legacy configuration files.

Features

New integrations engine, which coexists with the previous engine for backwards-compatibility and smoother transition. Featuring:

• Simpler setup of integrations, with fewer files and fewer mandatory properties. In some cases, you only have to set the integration name to enable it.
• Flexible configuration of integrations via command-line arguments, environment variables, or external files.
• Ability to group different integrations in the same configuration file.
• Hot reload of integrations, so you can add a new integration or change its configuration without needing to restart the Infrastructure agent.
• Timeouts when an integration does not respond before a user-specified time. The integration process is killed and restarted. This can also be disabled.
• Smooth migration from the old integrations engine.

Please read the documentation about Infrastructure integration configuration file specifications for agent v1.8.0 or higher for a complete description of how to start using the new integrations engine, as well as a detailed description and examples of the new configuration options.
