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.

Features

• Host shutdown detection in Windows and Linux (systemd only).
• As part of a feature to reduce Host Not Reporting alerts, the Agent will (try to) detect if a Host is being shutdown. There will be a new Inventory entry, agent/shutdown_status, with a value of either Running or Shutdown that will later be used by Alerts to decide if a HNR alert should be triggered or not.
• Verbose logging enablement from newrelic-infra-ctl for Windows.
• Improved agent identification

Features

• Improved host shutdown detection in Windows and Linux (systemd only). This will add a new inventory source called agent/shutdown_status with the value Running or Shutdown and a corresponding event in events
  • In Windows, the Agent will create a NamedPipe to communicate between the service process and the agent process. The NamedPipe is only writable for admin users
• Removed some warning when running the agent
• Fixed issue where enabling "Verbose Logs" was not working in some cases

Notes

Features

• Containers' discovery allows you executing your integrations within a set of containers that are dynamically discovered at runtime. It also allows dynamically configuring your integrations to match the container's data (labels, ports, IPs...). Currently, Docker and Fargate containers are supported. For more information, please check the container auto-discovery documentation.
• Secret variables binding allows you passing secrets (users, passwords...) to your integrations without having to write them as plain text in your configuration files. Currently, Vault and Amazon KMS are supported. For more information, please check the secrets management documentation.
