Improve Oban job result reporting

Changed

• Update the result attribute reported for Oban jobs. Instead of it including the job's whole return value, it only contains the Oban job control value: :ok/:error/:discard/:cancel/:snooze. The reason for a discard, cancel, error or snooze result will be stored in the new result_reason attribute. Any :ok result reasons and unexpected result values are ignored. This is to avoid storing sensitive data in the attributes and to make it easier to filter by job control value in the interface.

Log a debug message when ignoring an error

Changed

• Log a debug message when the reported error is ignored by the ignore_errors config option.

Fix default error reporting behavior for Appsignal.Plug

Fixed

• Restore normal error reporting behavior by removing the default included Plug.ErrorHandler in the Appsignal.Plug module. It will now longer render a page with HTTP status 500 and the response body "Something went wrong".

Report Oban's configuration prefix and other improvements

Added

• Report Oban's configuration prefix value, if present, as a tag in Oban job samples. Thanks to @tfwright for suggesting and implementing this feature.

Changed

• Remove redundant cron check-in pairs. When more than one pair of start and finish cron check-in events is reported for the same identifier in the same period, only one of them will be reported to AppSignal.

Elixir for Phoenix package v2.7.0

Changed

• Remove the Hackney dependency. It is no longer used since AppSignal package 2.15.0.

Fixed

• Update appsignal_plug dependency requirement. This fixes an issue with spans being closed double, which led to inaccurate reporting.

Fixed

• Ensure spans in requests with errors aren't double-closed

Add mix task to check if the extension install succeeded

Added

• Add a mix task to check the extension install.

  Run mix appsignal.check_install to see if the NIF and agent were successfully installed. If not, it will return with exit code 1. Use this in your CI or build step to check if AppSignal was installed correctly before deploying or starting your application.

Fixed

• Fix an issue where the check-in scheduler would crash when failing to send a check-in due to a network error.

Improve SQL sanitisation

Delay agent reboots

Changed

• Delay and eventually halt agent reboots by the extension.

  The AppSignal extension is responsible for booting the AppSignal agent. If communication with the agent is lost, the extension is responsible for rebooting it.

  In certain scenarios, such as when several processes with different AppSignal configurations are misconfigured to share the same working directory, the processes' extensions can enter a loop of rebooting and killing each others' agents. These short-lived agents may then attempt to repeatedly send pending payloads to AppSignal in quick succession.

  This change causes the extension to delay each reboot of its agent by one additional second, and to no longer attempt to reboot the agent after the tenth reboot, slowing down and eventually breaking this loop.

Elixir package v2.14.0

Changed

• Update bundled trusted root certificates

Removed

• Remove the OpenTelemetry beta feature in favor of the new AppSignal collector. If you are using the AppSignal agent to send OpenTelemetry data in our public beta through the /enriched endpoint on the agent's HTTP server, please migrate to the collector to continue using the beta. The collector has a much better implementation of this feature for the beta.

Fixed

• Fix an issue where the AppSignal agent fails to download during installation, by restricting the Hackney dependency to version 1.21.0 or lower.

Close spans when an error occurs in an Appsignal.instrument instrumented function

Fixed

• Close instrumentation spans when an error occurs inside the Appsignal.instrument helper's function argument. This prevents spans and traces from not being closed properly.

  This will no longer fail to close spans:

  Elixir

  Appsignal.instrument("event name", fn -> do
    raise "Oh no!"
  end)

Fix check-ins not being sent and other improvements

Added

• Add reported_by tag to errors reported by the legacy error backend. This makes it easier to understand whether an error is being reported by the error backend.
• Set the app revision config option for Scalingo deploys automatically. If the CONTAINER_VERSION system environment variable is present, it will use used to set the revision config option automatically. Overwrite it's value by configuring the revision config option for your application.

Changed

• Change the primary download mirror for integrations.

Fixed

• Fix parentheses warning for Tesla on Elixir 1.17.x.

• Fix an issue where, after a certain amount of time, check-ins would no longer be sent.

  This issue also caused the default Hackney connection pool to be saturated, affecting other code that uses the default Hackney connection pool.

Improve error reporting during template rendering

Added

• Set render metadata as tags on render error. When a template rendering error is reported, its backtrace is limited to the Elixir process that is spawned to render the template. Add information about the template and view being rendered as tags, to provide additional context about the error.
