Infrastructure agent v1.57.0

September 2, 2024

Cuidado

Defective release: this release has a known issue where process metrics might be reported even if enable_process_metrics is undefined or set to false in agent settings.

Please consider one of these alternatives:

  • Use any version lower than 1.57.0
  • Upgrade to 1.57.2 or later.
  • Use metrics_process_sample_rate: -1 to completely disable process monitoring.

We've released a new version of the agent. Follow standard procedures to update the Infrastructure agent. New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly, every 3 months at a minimum. As of this release, the oldest supported version is Infrastructure agent 1.47.0.

Changed

  • New local health status (/v1/status/health) checks for valid credentials to connect to NR backend #1908
  • Ability to define exclusion lists for process monitoring using the exclude_matching_metrics setting #1914
