Node.js agent release notesRSS

Notes

• Added defensive code in redis v4 instrumentation to check for opts.socket first before evaluating opts.socket.path. Thanks @RAshidAZ for your contribution!

• Updated @grpc/proto-loader to v0.6.13 to pickup security fixes in protobufjs.

Notes

• Fixed issue with api.getBrowserTimingHeader optional script unwrapping issue with util.format. Thanks for your contribution @github-dd-nicolas

• Fixed winston instrumentation to not exit early when winston.createLogger is created without options.

• Updated pino instrumentation to not override user log configurations.

Notes

• Upgraded protobufjs to resolve CVE-2022-25878

Support statement:

• New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly to ensure that you're getting the latest features and performance benefits. Additionally, older releases will no longer be supported when they reach end-of-life.

Notes

• Fixed passing undefined as a formatter options to winston.format.combine

Notes

• Moved log forwarding logic to a transport so customer transports are not polluted with NR linking metadata and timestamp and error manipulations.

• Prevented transmitting logs when application level logging has been disabled.

Notes

• Added instrumentation to pino to support application logging use cases: forwarding, local decorating, and metrics.

• Added supportability metrics about the data usage bytes of harvested data to the collector endpoints.

• Added an optional way to avoid wrapping browser agent script with the {'<script>'} tag when using api.getBrowserTimingHeader. This will ease usage with component-based libraries like React. Thanks to @github-dd-nicolas for the contribution.

• Upgraded @grpc/proto-loader to fix a CVE with protobufjs.

• Upgraded @newrelic/test-utilities to resolve a dev-only audit warning.

Notes

• Fixed winston instrumentation to no longer coerce every log line to be json.
