newrelic 8.8.0

v8.8.0

on Python PyPI

Notes

This release of the Python agent adds support for two new errors inbox features: error fingerprinting and user tracking.

Install the agent using easy_install/pip/distribute via the Python Package Index or download it directly from the New Relic download site.

New features

New Errors Inbox features

• User tracking: You can now see the number of users impacted by an error group. Identify the end user with the set_user_id method.

• Error fingerprinting: Are your error occurrences grouped poorly? Set your own error fingerprint via a callback function.

Bug fixes

• Guard GraphQL settings lookup
  In v8.7.1, a bug was introduced in GraphQL instrumentation when not running within a transaction. This crash has been addressed.

• Fix Redis instance information
  Redis v4.5.2 included a change that broke detection for socket based redis instance information. The agent now correctly detects socket paths again.

Support statement

New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly and at a minimum every 3 months. As of this release, the oldest supported version is 5.12.0.140. More information can be found in the EOL Policy Page.
