Releases: elastic/apm-agent-java
Release 0.7.1
Bug Fixes
Avoid recycling transactions twice (#178)
Release 0.7.0
Breaking changes
- Removed
ElasticApm.startSpan
. Spans can now only be created from their transactions viaTransaction#createSpan
. ElasticApm.startTransaction
andTransaction#createSpan
don't activate the transaction and spans
and are thus not available viaElasticApm.activeTransaction
andElasticApm.activeSpan
.
Features
- Public API
- Add
Span#captureException
andTransaction#captureException
to public API.
ElasticApm.captureException
is deprecated now. UseElasticApm.currentSpan().captureException(exception)
instead. - Added
Transaction.getId
andSpan.getId
methods
- Add
- Added support for async servlet requests
- Added support for Payara/Glassfish
- Incubating support for Apache HttpClient
- Support for Spring RestTemplate
- Added configuration options
use_path_as_transaction_name
andurl_groups
,
which allow to use the URL path as the transaction name.
As that could contain path parameters, like/user/$userId
however,
You can set theurl_groups
option to define a wildcard pattern, like/user/*
,
to group those paths together.
This is especially helpful when using an unsupported Servlet API-based framework. - Support duration suffixes (
ms
,s
andm
) for duration configuration options.
Not using the duration suffix logs out a deprecation warning and will not be supported in future versions. - Add ability to add multiple APM server URLs, which enables client-side load balancing.
The configuration optionserver_url
has been renamed toserver_urls
to reflect this change.
However,server_url
still works for backwards compatibility. - The configuration option
service_name
is now optional.
It defaults to the main class name,
the name of the executed jar file (removing the version number),
or the application server name (for exampletomcat-application
).
In a lot of cases,
you will still want to set theservice_name
explicitly.
But it helps getting started and seeing data easier,
as there are no required configuration options anymore.
In the future we will most likely determine more useful application names for Servlet API-based applications.
Release 0.6.2
Bug Fixes
- Make header recording null safe (see #159)
Release 0.6.1
Bug Fixes
- Fixes a bug which lets reporting to APM server fail if there is more than one request per second
- Closes
InputStream
s when an exception occurs when communicating with the APM server
Release 0.6.0
As of 0.6.0
, the agent is considered to be in beta state. That means it's feature complete for the scope targeted for GA and that it's ready for serious testing. However, the agent is not yet production ready.
Features
- Added support for Tomcat, Jetty, Undertow, WildFly, WebSphere and Spring Boot. We have set up integration tests to verify that the agent works on these servers. See the documentation for more details about supported technologies.
- Lots of performance improvements
- Add logging configuration options for log level and log file
- Add ability to disable certain instrumentations (#95)
- Check and log status of the APM server connection (#113)
Bug Fixes
Release 0.5.1
This release is a complete overhaul of the agent and makes it much easier to get started with. The agent now contains support for auto-instrumentation via -javaagent
. You don't have to do any code changes in order to add the agent to your application. See the getting started guide how to add the -javaagent
flag to your application.
New Features
- Improved performance. The performance has successfully been improved. The overhead is around 1.5 µs and 75 byte per request.
- The agent now supports the OpenTracing API via a bridge. See the OpenTracing documentation for more information.
- The agent filters sensitive information from HTTP headers and from data. See the configuration option
sanitize_field_names
for more information.
Migration from 0.1.2
Remove the dependency on co.elastic.apm:apm-agent-java
and remove all manually registered interceptors: Remove the ApmFilter
from web.xml
, remove the Spring MVC ApmHandlerInterceptor
and remove p6spy:
in your JDBC URL.
If you have previously accessed the public API to customize the transactions and spans created by elastic APM or if you have manually created transactions and spans using the public API, you have to declare an explicit dependency to co.elastic.apm:apm-agent-api
now. You also don't initialize ElasticApm
with ElasticApm.get()
, but you just call it's static methods instead. For example ElasticApm.startTransaction()
. Be aware that the API is subject to change until version 1.0.0
is reached. See the docs of the public API for more information.
Release 0.1.2
This alpha version of the agent supports monitoring Spring Web MVC and Servlet API-based applications, including tracing of JDBC queries.
The alpha version does not, yet, support auto-instrumentation via -javaagent, so you have to integrate the Java agent manually. See the readme for more details.
Release 0.1.1
There are missing files on maven central for this release. Please use 0.1.2 instead
