Java agent release notesRSS

Fix: New Relic includes property take_last_status to only grab the final http status code.

By default, New Relic reports any error status code. However, when this property is set to true, only the last http status code will be reported. This property should be set when using Apache Felix.

Fix: New Relic now correctly patches Apache Felix ClassLoaders.

Fix: Time will now display correctly for the first hour of the day when using log4j.

Fix: RUM header was missing a semicolon at the end of the last statement. Some browsers prefer semicolons everywhere.

Adds a X-NewRelic-ID header to outbound requests using the Apache HttpClient or HttpURLConnection libraries. This change helps improve the correlation of performance between services in a service-oriented architecture for a forthcoming feature. In the meantime, if you wish to disable the header, set 'cross_application_tracing: false' in newrelic.yml.

Fix: Java agent now reports hostnames consistent with the output of "hostname -s" to match all other agents

Add report of physical server memory (in addition to JVM memory) on Unix/Linux machines

Agent can be configured to not send JVM arguments to the New Relic server

The property send_jvm_props can be set to false, which will cause JVM arguments to no longer be sent to the server. Use this setting if you set sensitive system properties on the command line.

Agent reports full URL in external service calls for transaction traces

The agent now will provide the full URL if available in transaction traces for external calls.

Fix: ResinServletTracerFactory no longer causing SkipServletTracerFactory errors

When hitting the ResinServletTracerFactory inside a transaction, a SkipServletTracerFactory excetion will no longer be thrown.

Agent logging improvements

We have improved the clarity of logging messages, adjusted logging levels to be more appropriate, and increased logging performance.

Agent reports jars used by applications to the Environments tab in the UI

The Environments tab in the New Relic UI now shows the jars used by your application.

Fix: In certain cases, auto-RUM of JSP breaks HTML

An angle-bracket in quotes in a META tag causes the agent to produce invalid HTML for JSP. The fix produces valid HTML for this case.

Fix: Key Transaction ApdexT value not used

In v2.10 - v2.11, the application-level ApdexT value is used for Key Transactions rather than the ApdexT for the Key Transaction itself. In this release, the ApdexT for the Key Transaction is used.

Fix: With OC4J using PolicyClassLoader, no metrics displayed

In the case where OC4J uses the PolicyClassLoader, the agent generates a java.lang.StackOverflowError in the log and does not provide metrics. In this release, the error does not occur.

Fix: External metrics for HttpClient include port if host is an IP address

In the case where an external service call uses HttpClient with an IP address rather than a hostname, the port number is also included. In this release, the port number is not displayed.
