Ruby agent v9.17.0

v9.17.0

• Feature: Support Ruby 3.4.0

  The agent now supports Ruby 3.4.0. We've made incremental changes throughout the preview stage to reach compatibility. This release includes an update to the Thread Profiler for compatibility with Ruby 3.4.0's new backtrace format. Issue#2992 PR#2997

• Feature: Add instrumentation for aws-sdk-firehose

  The agent now has instrumentation for the aws-sdk-firehose gem. PR#2973

• Feature: Kubernetes APM auto-attach - new agent version precedent

  Previously, when a customer installed the Ruby agent via Kubernetes APM auto-attach and also had the Ruby agent listed in their Gemfile, the agent version in Gemfile would take precedence. Now, the agent version installed by auto-attach takes priority. PR#3018

• Feature: Add health checks when the agent runs within Agent Control

  When the agent is started within an Agent Control environment, a health check file will be created at the configured file location for every agent process. By default, this location is: '/newrelic/apm/health'. The health check files will be updated at the configured frequency, which defaults to every five seconds. PR#2995

• Feature: Add Redshift as recognized ActiveRecord adapter

  When the agent does not recognize an ActiveRecord adapter, the host, port, and database name information is not added to the datastore span. Redshift will now be treated like PostgreSQL, and the agent will save the host, port, and database name on the span. PR#3032

• Feature: Add instrumentation for aws-sdk-kinesis

  The agent now has instrumentation for the aws-sdk-kinesis gem. It will record message broker segments for get_records, put_record, and put_records operations. All other operations will record standard segments. PR#2974

• Bugfix: Stop emitting inaccurate debug-level log about deprecated configuration options

  In the previous major release, we dropped support for many disable_library_name configuration options in favor of instrumentation.library_name. Previously, a DEBUG level log warning appeared whenever disable_* options were set to true, even for libraries (e.g. Action Dispatch) without equivalent instrumentation.* options:

>DEBUG : [DEPRECATED] configuration disable_library_name for library_name will be removed in the next major release. Use instrumentation. library_name with one of ["auto", "disabled", "prepend", "chain"]

This inaccurate warning has been removed. If you are disabling instrumentation using instrumentation.library_name: disabled or NEW_RELIC_INSTRUMENTATION_LIBRARY_NAME=disabled, please verify the option exists by consulting our configuration documentation. If the option does not exist, check the 'Disabling' section to see if there is a related option. We apologize for the confusion. PR#3005

• Bugfix: Do not attempt to decorate logs with nil messages

  The agent no longer attempts to add New Relic linking metadata to logs with nil messages. Thank you, @arlando for bringing this to our attention! Issue#2985 PR#2986

• Bugfix: Stop renaming final Grape segment

  Previously, the agent renamed the final segment in Grape transactions to "Middleware/Grape/#{class_name}/call". This was a part of an old instrumentation pattern that is no longer relevant. Many thanks to @seriousdev-gh for bringing this issue to our attention and along with a great reproduction and suggested fix. PR#2987.
