Node.js agent release notesRSS

Notes

• Enable http/https proxy features on all supported Node versions.

  Supported versions: Node.js 0.8, 0.10, 0.12 and io.js 1.x.

• Fixed a bug in vhost detection in Hapi 8. This bug would result in a crash for users of vhosts.

Notes

• Now transaction tracing with synthetic monitoring is on by default.

  The previous release had the synthetic transaction tracing feature turned off by default.

Notes

• Added support for synthetic monitoring transaction tracing.

  Synthetic monitoring lets you monitor your site from around the world. When you use synthetics to monitor your Node application, up to 20 detailed transaction traces will now be captured every minute when the application is probed from synthetics. To learn more about this feature, visit our documentation.

Notes

• Preliminary Node.js 0.12 support.

  HTTP proxies are not supported on 0.12 yet. We don't recommend running the Agent on Node.js 0.11.15+ in production, but if you are testing on it, please let us know of any issues you encounter.

Notes:

• Added an API for recording custom Insights events. Read more about this in our documentation

• Fixed a crash in express instrumentation in the handling of sub-routers.
• Fixed a crash in http outbound connections when CAT is enabled and another library has frozen the http request headers.
• Updated version checking to allow versions of the runtime >= 1.0.0. Thanks to Mark Stosberg for this patch!

Notes

• The agent now logs the actual error when log file parsing fails. Thanks to knownasilya for this patch!
• Fixed a crash where config serialization would fail due to circular objects if domains were enabled.

Notes:

• Errors that occur in background transactions now have custom parameters copied onto them in the same manner as web transactions.
• Memcached instrumentation has been updated to account for additional arguments that might be passed to the command function that the agent wraps.

Notes

• Custom web transactions can have their names changed by nr.setTransactionName(). Thanks to Matt Lavin for this patch!
• Fixed a bug where Express instrumentation could crash if transaction state was lost in a sub router.
