Agent Control v1.24.0

New features

• Renamed the secrets_providers config key to value_providers, the old key is kept for backwards compatibility.
• OnHost: added support for RedHat 10
• K8s: add a new nr-kubecm value provider to resolve variables from Kubernetes ConfigMaps.
• chart_values.global is still supported in agentTypes, but deprecated. You can still configure globals via chart_values.[chart-name].global
• Linux: added uninstall.sh script bundled in the package that auto-detects the package manager (apt, yum, zypper) and removes newrelic-agent-control.

Bug fixes

• On-host: the eBPF agent now writes its status log under the AC managed filesystem directory instead of /etc/newrelic-ebpf-agent.
• On-host: fix false "already running" startup error when a stale PID file held a PID reused by an unrelated process.
• Suppress Health reporting (OpAMP and status server) for sub-agents whose agent type defines no health: block, including on initial supervisor start failure.
• On-host: when an agent type is upgraded to a new version, stale filesystem entries declared by the old version are now removed via a diff instead of a full agent directory wipe; the sub-agent's OpAMP instance ID is preserved across version bumps.
• K8s: when a sub-agent type is upgraded to a new version, the OpAMP instance ID is now preserved across the upgrade; previously the fleet-data ConfigMap was deleted on every type change regardless of whether the agent name changed, causing a new instance ID to be generated on the next start.
• Linux: postremove script now correctly removes newrelic-agent-control directories on any uninstall (not only on apt purge), and targets the right paths (/etc/newrelic-agent-control, /var/lib/newrelic-agent-control, /var/run/newrelic-infra) instead of the old infra-agent ones.
• On-host: the service now retries indefinitely on failure (20 s delay) instead of stopping after 5 rapid restarts; applies to both the Linux systemd unit and the Windows SCM failure actions.
