Go agent v3.17.0

3.17.0

Added

• Logs in context now supported for zerolog.
• This is a quick way to view logs no matter where you are in the platform.
  • Adds support for logging metrics which shows the rate of log messages by severity in the Logs chart in the APM Summary view. This is enabled by default in this release.
  • Adds support for forwarding application logs to New Relic. This automatically sends application logs that have been enriched to power APM logs in context. This is disabled by default in this release. This will be on by default in a future release.
  • To learn more about APM logs in context see the documentation here.
  • Includes the RecordLog function for recording log data from a single log entry
  • An integrated plugin for zerolog to automatically ingest log data with the Go Agent.
  • Resolves issue 178, issue 488, issue 489, issue 490, and issue 491 .
• Added integration for MS SQL Server (PR 425; thanks @ishahid91!)
  • This introduces the nrmssql integration v1.0.0.
• Added config function ConfigCustomInsightsEventsMaxSamplesStored for limiting the number of samples stored in a custom insights event. Fixes issue 476

Fixed

• Improved speed of building distributed trace header JSON payload. Fixes issue 505.
• Renamed the gRPC attribute names from GrpcStatusLevel, GrpcStatusMessage, and GrpcStatusCode to grpcStatusLevel, grpcStatusMessage, and grpcStatusCode respectively, to conform to existing naming conventions for New Relic agents. Fixes issue 492.
• Updated go.mod for the nrgin integration to mitigate security issue in 3rd party dependency.
• Updated go.mod for the nrawssdk-v1 integration to properly reflect its dependency on version 3.16.0 of the Go Agent.
• Updated go.mod for the nrlambda integration to require aws-lambda-go version 1.20.0. (PR 356; thanks MattWhelan!)

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.
