Features
GitHub Action: Remote Instana Agent Update
We released a GitHub Action to remotely trigger the update of Instana agents using Git-based configuration management. The GitOps Demo repository shows you examples of how to automatically trigger configuration updates of your agents using GitHub and Git hooks. Happy GitOps-ing :-)
Application Dashboards: Time Shift
Metrics can be easily compared to past timeframes in application, service and endpoint dashboards using Time Shift.
Improvements
-
Go: as of
v1.19.0
ofgithub.com/instana/go-sensor
an instrumented service running in AWS Fargate is now reporting the resource usage metrics for process and Docker container. The reported metrics are:- Containers: CPU, memory and network usage
- Process: CPU, memory, open file limits and usage
- Go: as of
v1.20.0
ofgithub.com/instana/go-sensor
the instrumentation of services running AWS Fargate accept configuration via environment variables. This release promotes the AWS Fargate to GA. - Prometheus Sensor: added support for
untyped
type of metrics, improved overall performance of sensor on large responses. - Ruby / Sidekiq: the Job name is now used for the
call.name
rather than the Queue name, which is already used for the Endpoint, and this duplication provides no value.
Fixes
- Agent list: fixed issue where 'offline' Agents were no longer correctly included in the list
- Kafka Connect: process is now correctly connected to the JVM
Deprecations
- The custom payload for alert configurations via API is now flagged as deprecated, as it will soon be replaced with a much improved capability.
