newrelic 9.9.0

v9.9.0

on Node.js NPM

v9.9.0 (2023-02-06)

• Added support for url obfuscation using regex (Thanks for your contribution @matewilk)

  • For Distributed Tracing, this means that:
    • Incoming and outgoing requests' path will be obfuscated
    • Transaction's request.url attribute will be obfuscated
    • Span's http.uri path will be obfuscated
  • For transactions, this means that:
    • Transaction trace details url will be obfuscated
  • With the following example configuration, url obfuscation will turn /api/v1/users/12345456/edit to /api/v1/users/**/edit.

    url_obfuscation: {
      enabled: true,
      regex: {
        pattern: /(\/api\/v1\/users\/)([\d]+)(\/.*$)/,
        flags: "i",
        replacement: '$1**$3'
      }
    }

  • You can also use environment variables to configure url obfuscation:

    NEW_RELIC_URL_OBFUSCATION_ENABLED: "true",
    NEW_RELIC_URL_OBFUSCATION_REGEX_PATTERN: '/(\/api\/v1\/users\/)([\d]+)(\/.*$)/',
    NEW_RELIC_URL_OBFUSCATION_REGEX_FLAGS: 'i',
    NEW_RELIC_URL_OBFUSCATION_REGEX_REPLACEMENT: '$1**$3'

• Add a new tracking type of instrumentation. This will be responsible for logging Supportability/Features/Instrumentation/OnResolved/<pkg> and Supportability/Features/Instrumentation/OnResolved/<pkg>/Version/<version> metrics when packages are required.

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.
