Agent Control release notesRSS

New features

• Windows filesystem: Removed unused code and use higher-level APIs for Windows interaction.
• Reports the com.newrelic.remoteAgentTypeRepoReachable OpAMP custom capability when the configured Agent Type OCI repository is reachable at startup.
• On-host: added nri-flex agentType.

Bug fixes

• Windows: fixed files under Agent Control's managed directories being left with permissions it could not use. Managed directories now use an inheritable Administrators ACE, and Agent Control tries to repair ACEs on startup.

Security updates

• Updated rust crate clap to 4.6.6
• Updated rust crate serde-saphyr to 1.0.1

New features

• Kubernetes: --release-name is now optional on uninstall-agent-control; omitting it skips deleting the release's own HelmRelease/HelmRepository CRs.
• On-host: added nri-apache and nri-nginx agentTypes.
• On-host: added nri-postgresql agentType.
• On-host: added nri-mysql agentType.

• Log files rotated have now 30 days of retention.
• Added agent-type validate --file <path> subcommand to newrelic-agent-control-cli and newrelic-agent-control-k8s-cli for schema-level validation of agent type definition files.
• Extended agent-type validate with semantic validation: every ${nr-var:X} reference in deployment must have a matching variables declaration.
• Enable cache for remote Agent Type registry

New features

• On-host and Kubernetes: When an agent's type is bumped via a live remote config update, Agent Control now reconciles both per-agent and shared filesystems, deleting paths declared by the old type that no longer appear in any active agent's declarations. Co-owned shared paths still claimed by another active agent are preserved. On Kubernetes, k8s objects annotated with the old type are garbage-collected while new-type resources are left intact.
• Adds oci-utils CLI to test/crates/oci-test-utils for pushing agent packages and agent type definitions to OCI registries from the command line (dev/test tooling; not published).
• On-host agent-type parsing now validates reported_version_package: It must reference a declared package, and is required when more than one package is defined. Invalid configurations are rejected at parse time with a descriptive error. This reported_version_package determines which version is reported as agent.version.
• Adds support for copy_from_file for on-host "in-agent" filesystem.
• Adds support for shared_filesystem in on-host agent types. It includes a single-owner rule: Two agents claiming the same path in the shared-filesystem are invalid and reported as Failed.
• On-host self-update: Skip sub-agent reconciliation when a self-update is in progress. When a single remote config both bumps the Agent Control version and changes a sub-agent's agent_type, the changed sub-agent is no longer recreated moments before the process restarts; the new config is stored and re-applied cleanly by the restarted process, avoiding a redundant sub-agent restart and telemetry gap.
• On-host: Added support for nri-redis agentType for both Linux and Windows.
• On-host health config: Replaced the flat health.http: / health.file: fields with an explicit checks: list. Each entry is discriminated by kind: (Process, Http, or File). The previously implicit supervised-process health check is now declared as kind: Process. An omitted or empty checks: list disables health reporting entirely.
• On-host filesystem entries (file/dir) now always survive sub-agent stop, restart, and config-apply. A stray persistent: key in existing agent-type YAML is ignored rather than rejected.

Bug fixes

• Added identifying attributes for each package specified in the agentType as package.version.<id>.
• RPM packages now restore local_config.yaml from the .rpmsave backup left by a prior uninstall.
