Python agent v2.92.0.78

Notes

This release of the Python agent adds support for monitoring of outbound gRPC requests and adds an API for cross application tracing of custom non-HTTP transports. For details on APIs for cross application tracing see the cross application tracing document.

The agent can be installed using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index  or can be downloaded directly from the New Relic download site.

New Features

• Add API for cross application tracing of non-HTTP external services


  A new API is now exposed for implementing cross application tracing in custom instrumentation of non-HTTP transport libraries. For usage of this API see the cross application tracing document.


• Add instrumentation for gRPC client calls


  Outbound gRPC requests will now show up in APM under the External Services tab and in transaction traces.


Bug Fixes

• Fixes erroneous recording of TastyPie NotFound exceptions

  
When a TastyPie API view raised a NotFound exception resulting in a 404 response, the agent may have erroneously recorded the exception. This has now been fixed.
