Node.js agent release notesRSS

Notes

• Now transaction tracing with synthetic monitoring is on by default.

  The previous release had the synthetic transaction tracing feature turned off by default.

Notes

• Preliminary Node.js 0.12 support.

  HTTP proxies are not supported on 0.12 yet. We don't recommend running the Agent on Node.js 0.11.15+ in production, but if you are testing on it, please let us know of any issues you encounter.

Notes:

• Added an API for recording custom Insights events. Read more about this in our documentation

• Fixed a crash in express instrumentation in the handling of sub-routers.
• Fixed a crash in http outbound connections when CAT is enabled and another library has frozen the http request headers.
• Updated version checking to allow versions of the runtime >= 1.0.0. Thanks to Mark Stosberg for this patch!

Notes

• The agent now logs the actual error when log file parsing fails. Thanks to knownasilya for this patch!
• Fixed a crash where config serialization would fail due to circular objects if domains were enabled.

Notes:

• Errors that occur in background transactions now have custom parameters copied onto them in the same manner as web transactions.
• Memcached instrumentation has been updated to account for additional arguments that might be passed to the command function that the agent wraps.

Notes

• Custom web transactions can have their names changed by nr.setTransactionName(). Thanks to Matt Lavin for this patch!
• Fixed a bug where Express instrumentation could crash if transaction state was lost in a sub router.

Notes

• Improved the Express instrumentation to be more defensive before doing property lookups, fixing a crash that could happen in an exceptional state.
• Improved logging when the New Relic agent cannot connect to New Relic servers.
• Make Cross Application Tracer header injection less aggressive fixing interaction with other libraries such as riak-js.

Notes

• Added support for Hapi v8.
• briandela contributed a fix for an crash that would occur when using hapi with vhosts.
