Feature: Add sidekiq.ignore_retry_errors configuration option
A new configuration option,
sidekiq.ignore_retry_errors, has been added to control if Sidekiq job retries are captured. Retry errors are captured by default, but now ifsidekiq.ignore_retry_errorsis set totrue, the agent will ignore exceptions raised during Sidekiq's retry attempts and will only report the error if the job permanently fails. Thank you DonGiulio for recognizing this improvement and contributing a solution. PR#3317Feature: Deprecation notice for recording deployments using Capistrano
Sending application deployment information using a Capistrano recipe is deprecated and will be removed in agent version 10.0.0. For recording deployments, please see our guide to Change Tracking for a list of available options.
Feature: Use remote parent sampling configurations for decisions in more scenarios
Previously, the
distributed_tracing.sampler.remote_parent_sampledanddistributed_tracing.sampler.remote_parent_not_sampledconfiguration options were used for the sampling decision only when thetraceparentandtracestateheaders were present. Now, these configuration options are applied in cases when thetracestateheader is missing and when only thenewrelicheader is available. This change makes distributed trace sampling more consistent and predictable. PR#3306
