This feature causes an increase in the consumption of data. The amount of increase will depend on the application. This feature can be disabled by adding the following to the agent yaml config nested under the common section:
distributed_tracing:enabled: falseAuto-instrumentation support for GraphQL-Java 17.0+ #487
This version tested agent support for the ARM64/Graviton2 platform
Fixes
The existing MongoDB sync client instrumentation was incorrectly applying when MongoDB reactive or async client was being used, which could lead to segment timeouts and long transaction response times. #476
Deprecations and removed features
Cross application tracing is now deprecated, and disabled by default. To continue using it, enable it with cross_application_tracer.enabled = true and distributed_tracing.enabled = false.
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.
