This is release v0.10.0 of the Grafana Cloud Agent, and we're in the double-digit minor revisions now! A huge thanks is deserved for @mattdurham and @56quarters who have spent some of their time helping out with the Agent 🎉
Notable changes:
The most notable change for v0.10.0 is support for signing Prometheus remote_write requests with SigV4. This allows users to use the Grafana Cloud Agent to send data to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus!
The other significant change is support for cleaning up old WALs that are no longer associated with a Prometheus instance. This can most likely be found when using the scraping service and deleting a config. By default, WALs that haven't received data for more than 12 hours will be deleted, and the check runs every 30 minutes.
For the full list of changes, as always, please see the CHANGELOG.
Installation:
Grafana Cloud Agent is currently distributed in plain binary form, Docker
container images, and a Kubernetes install script. Choose whichever fits your
use-case best.
Kubernetes Install Script
The following scripts will download and install two Kubernetes manifests for the
Agent. The first manifest collects metrics, the second collects logs, and the
final collects traces. You will be prompted for input for each manifest. The
script requires curl and envsubst (GNU gettext).
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.10.0/production/kubernetes/install.sh)" | kubectl -ndefault apply -f -
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.10.0/production/kubernetes/install-loki.sh)" | kubectl -ndefault apply -f -
