Report custom markers directly from the Ruby gem

Added

• Add a helper to create custom markers from the Ruby gem.

  Create a custom marker (a little icon shown in the graph timeline on AppSignal.com) to mark events on the timeline.

  Create a marker with all the available options:

  Ruby

  Appsignal::CustomMarker.report(
    # The icon shown on the timeline
    :icon => "🎉",
    # The message shown on hover
    :message => "Migration completed",
    # Any time object or a string with a ISO8601 valid time is accepted
    :created_at => Time.now
  )

  Create a marker with just a message:

  Ruby

  Appsignal::CustomMarker.report(
    :message => "Migration completed",
  )

  The default icon is the 🚀 icon. The default time is the time the request is received by our servers.

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.
