Release 3.37.0

[nr-swilloughby]

3.37.0

Enhanced

• Implemented a new approach to integrating New Relic with SLOG that is more lightweight, out of the way, and collects richer data. These changes have been constructed to be completely backwards-compatible with v1 of nrslog. Changes include:
  • Wrapping slog.Handler objects with errors to allow users to handle invalid use cases
  • A complete rework of log enrichment so that New Relic linking metadata does not invalidate JSON, BSON, or YAML scanners. This new approach will instead inject the linking metadata as a key-value pair.
  • Complete support for With(), WithGroup(), and attributes for automatic instrumentation.
  • Performance operations.
  • Robust testing (close to 90% coverage).
  • This updates logcontext-v2/nrslog to v1.4.0.
• Now custom application tags (labels) may be added to all forwarded log events.
  • Enabled if ConfigAppLogForwardingLabelsEnabled(true) or NEW_RELIC_APPLICATION_LOGGING_FORWARDING_LABELS_ENABLED=TRUE
  • May exclude labels named in ConfigAppLogForwardingLabelsExclude("label1","label2",...) or NEW_RELIC_APPLICATION_LOGGING_FORWARDING_LABELS_EXCLUDE="label1,label2,..."
  • Labels are defined via ConfigLabels(...) or NEW_RELIC_LABELS
• Added memory allocation limit detection/response mechanism to facilitate calling custom functions to perform application-specific resource management functionality, report custom metrics or events, or take other appropriate actions, in response to rising heap memory size.

Fixed

• Added protection around transaction methods to gracefully return when the transaction object is nil.
