Important
We recommend updating to the latest agent version as soon as it's available. If you can't upgrade to the latest version, update your agents to a version no more than 90 days old. Read more about keeping agents up to date.
See the New Relic Ruby agent EOL policy for information about agent releases and support dates.
v9.16.0
Version 9.16.0 introduces the following features and bug fixes:
Feature: Instrumentation for aws-sdk-lambda
When the aws-sdk-lambda gem is available and used to invoke remote AWS Lambda functions, the timing and error details of the invocations will be reported to New Relic. PR#2926.
Feature: Add new configuration options to attach custom tags (labels) to logs
The Ruby agent now allows you to opt-in to adding your custom tags (labels) to agent-forwarded logs. With custom tags on logs, platform engineers can easily filter, search, and correlate log data for faster and more efficient troubleshooting, improved performance, and optimized resource utilization. PR#2925
Feature: Update View Component instrumentation+
The
.identifiermethod will be formally exposed as part of the View Component public API. The agent will now use this method for building metric names when available, ensuring ongoing compatibility with all View Component versions. PR#2956Bugfix: Record explain plan traces on Rails 7.2+
Rails 7.2 removed adapter-specific connection methods (ex.
ActiveRecord::Base.postgresql_connection) and replaced them withActiveRecord::Base.with_connection. Our explain plan feature relies on making a connection to the database to create an explain plan trace. Due to a bug in our tests, we missed this regression. Now, the agent uses the new method to fetch explain plans on Rails 7.2+. Thank you, @gsar and @gstark for bringing this to our attention! Issue#2922 PR#2940
