Docs version: July 26-August 1, 2024

New docs

• Approaches to .NET serverless AWS Lambda performance monitoring aims to clarify and outline the different requirements and capabilities when setting up instrumentation for your .NET Lambda functions.
• You can monitor your VMWare Tanzu NGINX integration with either .NET Core or Framework.

Major changes

• IAST supports Ruby in APM version 9.12.0 or higher.
• Added a new customer responsibility matrix (CRM) spreadsheet to our FedRAMP certification doc.
• Added detailed info to synthetics job manager configuration on how to mount a PersistentVolume for a job manager on Kubernetes.
• When you monitor your mobile app, you can disable distributed tracing as described in configure mobile monitoring settings.
• In our intro to Pathpoint, added new best practices info around creating flows, staging examples, and selecting relevant signals.
• Updated our acceptable use policy to address generative AI usage.
• Clarified .NET agent and Lambda function limitations you need to be aware of.
• Added non-ingest AWS Privatelink endpoints to send New Relic data via AWS PrivateLink.
• A thorough clean-up of PHP agent compatibility and requirements makes it much easier for you to understand and find the system compatibiliy and requirements information you need to know.

Minor changes

• Updated the infrastructure agent configuration settings to note that if you install the infrastructure agent via guided install, our CLI installer, then status is enabled by default.
• Finished adding all of the status colors in introduction to New Relic pathpoint
• We've got new infrastructure UI experiences for AWS, Azure, and GCP, and updated docs to match.
• Updated compatibility for .NET core and .NET framework.
• In Microsoft SQL Server, it turns out that VIEW ANY DEFINITION is the correct name for read access permissions.
• When you export a chart as CSV, if you have comments in your NRQL query, you may see unexpected results in the CSV.
• If your synthetic monitoring scripts are running in an environment with write protected directories and you need to import and store Node.js modules, prepend these paths to appropriate the filenames.
• Custom event names can include forward slashes, so we've updated data requirements and limits for custom event data to reflect that.
• Added the NEW_RELIC_LAMBDA_HANDLER environment variable to the introduction to AWS Lambda monitoring. This is used by our handler wrapper to find your function's actual handler.
• The Java APM agent isn't compatible with the latest version of Kafka. We've updated compatibility and requirements for the Java agent to reflect that we support versions 2.0.0 to 3.6.x.
• Added a note to requirements for the infrastructure agent to let that if you're running the infrastructure agent on Windows 2012, the highest available version is 1.37.1.
• Updated our APM agent docs to clarify that distributed tracing is enabled by default with our agents, but you need to enable Infinite Tracing.
