Node.js Agent version 3.xedit

3.12.1 - 2020/02/25edit

Bug fixesedit

3.12.0 - 2020/02/21edit

Featuresedit
  • feat: Set span outcome to success or failure depending on whether an error was captured during when the span was active. #1814
  • feat: Adds public setOutcome method to span and transaction APIs, and adds a top level setTransactionOutcome and setSpanOutcome to set outcome values for the current active transaction or active span.
  • Limit the transactionSampleRate value to 4 decimal places of precision according to the shared APM spec. This ensures that propagated sampling rate in the tracestate header is short and consistent. #1979
Bug fixesedit
  • fix: It was possible for fetching central config to result in the cloudProvider config value being reset to its default. #1976
  • fix: fixes bug where tedious could crash the agent on bulk inserts #1935
    Reported via the forum. The error symptom was: Cannot read property 'statement' of undefined

3.11.0 - 2021/02/08edit

Featuresedit
  • feat: add apm.getServiceName() #1949
    This will be used by ecs-logging packages to integrate with APM.
  • feat: support numeric and boolean labels #1909
    Add an optional stringify option to apm.setLabel(name, version, stringify = true) and apm.addLabels(labels, stringify = true), which can be set false to allow numeric and boolean labels. Stringify defaults to true for backwards compatibility — stringification will be removed in a future major version.
  • feat: added support for cloud metadata fetching #1937
    Agent now collects information about its cloud environment and includes this data in the APM Server’s metadata payload. See the spec for more information.

3.10.0 - 2021/01/11edit

Featuresedit
  • feat: Improve handling of raw body parsing The agent will now report raw/Buffer encoded post bodies as <Buffer>.
  • feat: Add support for api keys #1818
    This allows the usage of API keys for authentication to the APM server

  • feat: Add automatic instrumentation of the @elastic/elasticsearch package #1870

    The instrumentation of the legacy "elasticsearch" package has also changed slightly to commonalize:

    • "span.context.destination" is set on all Elasticsearch spans, not just a subset of query-like API endpoints.
    • For query-like API endpoints (e.g. /_search), the capturing of query details on "span.context.db.statement" has changed (a) to include both the query params and the request body if both exist (separated by \n\n) and (b) to URL encode the query params, rather than JSON encoding.
  • feat: Add captureAttributes boolean option to apm.captureError() to allow disabling the automatic capture of Error object properties. This is useful for cases where those properties should not be sent to the APM Server, e.g. for performance (large string fields) or security (PII data). #1912
  • feat: Add log_level central config support. #1908
    Spec: https://github.com/elastic/apm/blob/master/specs/agents/logging.md

  • feat: implemented sanitize_feature_names specification
    Allows users to configure a list of wildcard patterns to remove items from the agent’s HTTP header and application/x-www-form-urlencoded payloads.

Bug fixesedit

  • fix: Fix parsing of comma-separated strings for relevant config vars to allow whitespace around the commas. E.g.:

    export ELASTIC_APM_TRANSACTION_IGNORE_URLS='/ping, /metrics*'

    Config vars affected are: disableInstrumentations, transactionIgnoreUrls addPatch, and globalLabels.

  • fix: Correct the environment variable for setting transactionIgnoreUrl (added in v3.9.0) from ELASTIC_TRANSACTION_IGNORE_URLS to ELASTIC_APM_TRANSACTION_IGNORE_URLS.

3.9.0 - 2020/11/30edit

Featuresedit
  • feat: support fastify 3 #1891
    Adds .default and .fastify module.exports to instrumented fastify function for 3.x line, and prefers req.routerMethod and req.routerPath for transaction name
  • feat: Set "destination" context on spans for "mongodb". #1893
    This allows Kibana APM Service Maps to show a "mongodb" node for services using the mongodb package (which includes mongoose and mongojs).
  • feat: transactionIgnoreUrl wildcard matching #1870
    Allows users to ignore URLs using simple wildcard matching patterns that behave the same across language agents. See https://github.com/elastic/apm/issues/144
Bug fixesedit
  • fix: treat set-cookie in response headers as sensitive data #1886
  • fix: Synchronous spans would never have span.sync == true. #1879

3.8.0 - 2020/11/09edit

Featuresedit
  • feat: expand k8s pod ID discovery regex #1863
  • feat: implements tracestate #1828
    Expands support for the W3C Trace Context specification by adding a tracestate header implementation, and uses this new header to track the Elastic transaction sample rate across a trace’s service boundaries.
  • feat: add span and transaction outcome #1824
    This adds an "outcome" field to HTTP(S) transactions and spans.
