newrelic/newrelic-java-agent v6.2.0

Version 6.2.0

on GitHub

New Features and Improvements:

• Support for Real Time Profiling of your JVMs. The agent can now run in parallel with the JFR Daemon to provide Realtime Profiling of your JVMs using Java Flight Recorder! Read more about it in our blog and documentation.
• The agent now supports parsing cgroup ids that do not contain docker-. Previously, the agent only supported docker cgroup ids that contained docker- in them, such as 1:cpu:/system.slice/docker-12345abcde.scope. The agent now supports parsing cgroup ids such as 1:cpu:/system.slice/crio-12345abcde.scope.
• Adds support for Akka Http Core 10.2.0. Thank you jobicarter for reporting this issue.
• Adds support for gRPC 1.30.0. Thank you jef for submitting this request and trying it out.
• Adds support for map and flatmap async external calls in spring webflux framework. Previously the agent didn’t support client calls that occurred within the map or flatmap methods within the spring webflux framework. External calls such as serviceB and serviceC in the example below would not get reported to New Relic:

    return serviceA.getData()
                .map(service -> Response.builder().service(service).build())
                .flatMap(serviceB::getData)
                .flatMap(serviceC::getData)
                .doOnNext(this::saveResponse);

• Adds support for Play 2.16.3. Many thanks to junder31 for this contribution.

Fixes:

• Prevents the agent from logging a timeout exception when using New Relic Edge with Infinite Tracing but the agent hasn’t sent spans in a while.
• Prevents the agent from logging a socket exception when trying to retrieve cloud provider information in a non-cloud environment.
• Adds New Relic EU certifications if ca_bundle_path is specified.
  This fix also came with the reintroduction of the use_private_ssl config, which can be set to add our agent certs to the truststore.

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.
