Fix inode usage host metric name format and do not start on config file error (opt-in)

Added

• Add an option to not start AppSignal on config file errors. When the config/appsignal.yml file raises an error (due to ERB syntax issues or ERB errors), it will currently ignore the config file and try to make a configuration work from the other config sources (default, auto detection and system environment variables). This can cause unexpected behavior, because the config from the config file is not part of the loaded config.

  In future versions of the Ruby gem, AppSignal will not start when the config file contains an error. To opt-in to this new behavior, set the APPSIGNAL_INACTIVE_ON_CONFIG_FILE_ERROR system environment variable to either 1 or true.

Changed

• Log an error when sample data is of an invalid type. Accepted types are Array and Hash. If any other types are given, it will log an error to the appsignal.log file.

Fixed

• Bump agent to 6133900.
  • Fix disk_inode_usage metric name format to not be interpreted as a JSON object.

See the Ruby gem 3.4.12 changelog for more information.

Ruby 2.7 support is back and new host_role config option

Added

• Re-add support for Ruby 2.7.
• Add the host_role config option. This config option can be set per host to generate some metrics automatically per host and possibly do things like grouping in the future.

Changed

• Bump agent to version d789895.

  • Increase short data truncation from 2000 to 10000 characters.

See the Ruby gem 3.4.11 changelog for more information.

Sanitization support for the THEN and ELSE SQL logical operators

Backport of improved SQL query sanitization and some other improvements.

• Upgrade sql_lexer to v0.9.5. It adds sanitization support for the THEN and ELSE logical operators.
• Only ignore disk metrics that start with "loop", not all mounted disks that end with a number to report metrics for more disks.
• Rely on APPSIGNAL_RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER config option value before other environment factors to determine if the app is running in a container.
• Fix container detection for hosts running Docker itself.
• Add APPSIGNAL_STATSD_PORT config option.

See the Ruby gem 3.3.11 changelog for more information.

Sanitization support for the THEN and ELSE SQL logical operators

Upgrade internal sql_lexer library to v0.9.5. It adds sanitization support for the THEN and ELSE logical operators.

See the Ruby gem 3.4.10 changelog for more information.

Report custom data with Rails error handler

Allow passing custom data using the appsignal context via the Rails error reporter:

custom_data = { :hash => { :one => 1, :two => 2 }, :array => [1, 2] }
Rails.error.handle(:context => { :appsignal => { :custom_data => custom_data } }) do
  raise "Test"
end

See the Ruby gem 3.4.9 changelog for more information.

Total CPU usage host metric for VMs

• Allow configuration of the agent's TCP and UDP servers using the bind_address config option. This is by default set to 127.0.0.1, which only makes it accessible from the same host. If you want it to be accessible from other machines, use 0.0.0.0 or a specific IP address.
• Report total CPU usage host metric for VMs (not cgroups/containers). This change adds another state tag value on the cpu metric called total_usage, which reports the VM's total CPU usage in percentages.

See the Ruby gem 3.4.8 changelog for more information.

Display more disks and support Render commit hash

• Don't ignore all disk names ending in a number for host metrics.
• Use RENDER_GIT_COMMIT environment variable as revision if no revision is specified.

See the Ruby gem version 3.4.7 changelog for more information.

Replace recursively nested values when sanitizing

Replace recursively nested values when sanitizing an array or hash. This fixes a SystemStackError exception when sanitizing arrays or hashes.

See the Ruby gem version 3.4.6 changelog for more information.

Add option to filter metadata, fix Sinatra's custom request parameters

• Add filter_metadata option to filter out default metadata such as path from samples.
• Fix Sinatra's custom request parameters method.
• Log error when the argument type of the breadcrumb metadata is invalid.

See the Ruby gem version 3.4.5 changelog for more information.

StatsD configuration options, update bundled root certificates

• Allow configuration of the agent's StatsD server port through the statsd_port option.
• Update bundled trusted root certificates.
• Rely on APPSIGNAL_RUNNING_IN_CONTAINER config option value before other environment factors to determine if the app is running in a container.
• Fix container detection for hosts running Docker itself.

See the Ruby gem version 3.4.3 changelog for more information.

Fix a bug preventing log messages from reaching AppSignal

Fixed a bug that prevented log messages from getting to AppSignal when using the convenience methods.

Fix for minutely probes

Do not run minutely probes on Rails console.

See the ruby gem version 3.4.2 changelog for more information.

Various Ruby gem updates and bug fixes

• Add Rails error reporter Errors reported using Rails.error.handle are tracked as separate errors in AppSignal. We rely on our other Rails instrumentation to report the errors reported with Rails.error.record.
• Support Sidekiq in Rails error reporter. Track errors reported using Rails.error.handle in Sidekiq jobs, in the correct action.
• Set the AppSignal transaction namespace, action name and some tags, before Active Job jobs are performed.
• The AppSignal gem requires Ruby 3 or higher to run. Remove unnecessary Ruby version checks that query Ruby 2.7 or lower.
• Internal refactor of Ruby code due to RuboCop upgrade
• Fix a bug when using ActiveSupport::TaggedLogging calling the silence method.

See the ruby gem version 3.4.1 changelog for more information.
