• Enabled Distributed Tracing (DT) by default.

  • Added ability to configure the maximum number of spans that can be collected per minute via span_events.max_samples_stored and environment variable, NEW_RELIC_SPAN_EVENTS_MAX_SAMPLES_STORED.
  • Added supportability metric SpanEvent/Limit.

• Added support for properly setting the host and port for mongodb requests that are to cluster.

  • config item: error_collector.max_event_samples_stored
    env var: NEW_RELIC_ERROR_COLLECTOR_MAX_EVENT_SAMPLES_STORED
