Go agent release notesRSS

3.24.1

Fixed

• Performance improvement around calls to the security agent. In some cases, unnecessary setup operations were being performed even if there was no security agent present to use that. These are now conditional on the security agent being present in the application (note that this will enable the setup code if the security agent is present in the application, regardless of whether it’s currently enabled to run). This affects:
  • Base agent code (updated to v3.24.1)
  • nrmongo integration (updated to v1.1.1)
• Fixed unit tests for integrations that were failing because code-level metrics are enabled by default now:
  • nrawssdk-v1 (updated to v1.1.2)
  • nrawssdk-v2 (updated to v1.2.2)
  • nrecho-v3 (updated to v1.0.2)
  • nrecho-v4 (updated to v1.0.4)
  • nrhttprouter (updated to v1.3.0)
  • nrlambda (updated to v1.2.2)
  • nrnats (updated to v1.1.5)
  • nrredis-v8 (updated to v1.0.1)

Changed

• Updated all integration go.mod files to reflect supported Go language versions.
