New Relic Ruby Agent Release Notes

v6.9.0

• Added support for W3C Trace Context, with easy upgrade from New Relic trace context

  • Distributed Tracing now supports W3C Trace Context headers for HTTP protocols when distributed tracing is enabled. Our implementation can accept and emit both the W3C trace header format and the New Relic trace header format. This simplifies agent upgrades, allowing trace context to be propagated between services with older and newer releases of New Relic agents. W3C trace header format will always be accepted and emitted. New Relic trace header format will be accepted, and you can optionally disable emission of the New Relic trace header format.

  • When distributed tracing is enabled by setting distributed_tracing.enabled to true, the Ruby agent will now accept W3C's traceparent and tracestate headers when calling DistributedTracing.accept_distributed_trace_headers or automatically via http instrumentation. When calling DistributedTracing.insert_distributed_trace_headers, or automatically via http instrumentation, the Ruby agent will include the W3C headers along with the New Relic distributed tracing header, unless the New Relic trace header format is disabled by setting exclude_newrelic_header setting to true.

  • Added DistributedTracing.accept_distributed_trace_headers API for accepting both New Relic and W3C TraceContext distributed traces.

  • Deprecated DistributedTracing.accept_distributed_trace_payload which will be removed in a future major release.

  • Added DistributedTracing.insert_distributed_trace_headers API for adding outbound distributed trace headers. Both W3C TraceContext and New Relic formats will be included unless distributed_tracing.exclude_newrelic_header: true.

  • Deprecated DistributedTracing.create_distributed_trace_payload which will be removed in a future major release.

  Known Issues and Workarounds

  • If a .NET agent is initiating traces as the root service, do not upgrade your downstream Ruby New Relic agents to this agent release.

• Official Ruby 2.7 support

  The Ruby agent has been verified to run with Ruby 2.7.0.

• Reduced allocations when tracing transactions using API calls

  Default empty hashes for options parameter were not frozen, leading to excessive and unnecessary allocations when calling APIs for tracing transactions.

  Thanks to Joel Turkel (jturkel) for the contribution!
