Python agent v10.4.0

Notes

This release of the Python agent adds support for async PyMongo, Motor, aiomysql, a new AWS account ID configuration setting, linking AWS entities for DynamoDB and Lambda, and fixes a path typing issue in newrelic.initialize().

Install the agent using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or download it directly from the New Relic download site.

New features

• Add support for async PyMongo

  • Instrumentation support was added for asynchronous PyMongo. Note that this API is currently in beta and may be subject to future breaking changes, which may affect instrumentation.

• Add support for Motor

  • Instrumentation support was added for motor.

• Add support for aiomysql

  • Add support for aiomysql.

• Add new AWS account ID configuration setting

  • Some AWS instrumentations are not able to automatically determine the AWS account ID which is used to link the AWS entity in the service map. When cloud.aws.account_id is set, it will be used in certain AWS instrumentations such as DynamoDB to link the DynamoDB AWS entity in the service map.

• Link AWS entity for DynamoDB

  • Add linking to the AWS entity in the service map for DynamoDB. This linking is done by utilizing the cloud.aws.account_id configuration setting.

• Link AWS entity for Lambda

  • Add linking to the AWS entity in the service map for Lambda. This linking is done by attaching the ARN to the lambda call's span.

Bug fixes

• Fix path typing issue in newrelic.initialize()

  • Fixes a bug in newrelic.initialize() where pathlike objects were not accepted. This has been corrected to support strings, bytes, or PathLike objects.
