Known issues

Some customers saw increased overhead when Real-time profiling is enabled.
See notice below on how to disable it.

New features and improvements:

• Java instrumentation by XML new properties #288

  • traceLambda - to trace lambdas inside a method
  • traceByReturnType - to trace all methods in a class that return a given type

  These are compatible with Java and Scala. For more information, see Java instrumentation by XML.

• Scala APIs #254

  New artifacts allow Scala code to be instrumented using a fluent Scala API
  instead of the Java annotations. There are specific artifacts for versions
  2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 of Scala. Scala 3.0 users can use the 2.13 artifact.

  For more information, see Scala instrumentation.

• Real-time profiling for Java using JFR metrics #333

  Real-time profiling for Java using JFR metrics
  is now enabled by default.

  
  Notice: this feature will cause an increase in the consumption of data.
  The amount depends on the application. It can be disabled by adding the
  following to the agent yaml config nested under the common stanza:

    jfr:
      enabled: false
  

  For more information, see JFR core README.
