This is release v0.27.1 of the Grafana Agent. This is a minor release, that only updates the base image for the docker containers. We hope in doing so to have fewer reported vulnerabilities with some tooling. None of the formerly reported vulnerabilities are known or expected to be exploitable through the Grafana Agent.
Upgrading
Read the upgrade guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.
Notable changes:
NOTE: ARMv6 Docker images are no longer being published.
We have stopped publishing Docker images for ARMv6 platforms.
This is due to the new Ubuntu base image we are using that does not support ARMv6.
The new Ubuntu base image has less reported CVEs, and allows us to provide more
secure Docker images. We will still continue to publish ARMv6 release binaries and
deb/rpm packages.
- Switch docker image base from debian to ubuntu (@captncraig)
Installation:
Grafana Agent is currently distributed in plain binary form, Docker container images, a Windows installer, and a Kubernetes install script. Choose whichever fits your use-case best.
Kubernetes
Install directions here.
Docker container:
docker pull "grafana/agent:v0.27.1"Windows installer
The Windows installer is provided as a release asset for x64 machines.
Binary
We provide precompiled binary executables for the most common operating systems. Choose from the assets below for your matching operating system.
Note: ppc64le builds are currently considered secondary release targets and do not have the same level of support and testing as other platforms.
Example for the linux operating system on amd64:
# download the binary
curl -O -L "https://github.com/grafana/agent/releases/download/v0.27.1/agent-linux-amd64.zip"
# extract the binary
unzip "agent-linux-amd64.zip"
# make sure it is executable
chmod a+x "agent-linux-amd64"agentctl
agentctl, a tool for helping you interact with the Agent, is available as a Docker image:
docker pull "grafana/agentctl:v0.27.1"Or as a binary. Like before, choose the assets below that matches your operating system. For example, with linux on amd64:
# download the binary
curl -O -L "https://github.com/grafana/agent/releases/download/v0.27.1/agentctl-linux-amd64.zip"
# extract the binary
unzip "agentctl-linux-amd64.zip"
# make sure it is executable
chmod a+x "agentctl-linux-amd64"agent-operator
agent-operator, a Kubernetes Operator for the Grafana Agent, is available only as a Docker image:
docker pull "grafana/agent-operator:v0.27.1"
