Ruby agent v8.1.0

v8.1.0

• Instrumentation for Ruby standard library Logger

  The agent will now automatically instrument Logger, recording number of lines and size of logging output, with breakdown by severity.

• Bugfix for Padrino instrumentation

  A bug was introduced to the way the agent installs padrino instrumentation in 7.0.0. This release fixes the issues with the padrino instrumentation. Thanks to @sriedel for bringing this issue to our attention.

• Bugfix: Stop deadlocks between New Relic thread and Delayed Job sampling thread

  Running the agent's polling queries for the DelayedJobSampler within the same ActiveRecord connection decreases the frequency of deadlocks in development environments. Thanks @jdelStrother for bringing this to our attention and providing excellent sample code to speed up development!

• Bugfix: Allow Net::HTTP request to IPv6 addresses

  The agent will no longer raise an URI::InvalidURIError error if an IPv6 address is passed to Net::HTTP. Thank you @tristinbarnett and @tabathadelane for crafting a solution!

• Bugfix: Allow integers to be passed to error_collector.ignore_status_codes configuration

  Integers not wrapped in quotation marks can be passed to error_collector.ignore_status_codes in the newrelic.yml file. Our thanks goes to @elaguerta and @brammerl for resolving this issue!

• Bugfix: allow add_method_tracer to be used on BasicObjects

  Previously, our add_method_tracer changes referenced self.class which is not available on BasicObjects. This has been fixed. Thanks to @toncid for bringing this issue to our attention.
