Host metrics collection zombie process fix

Jun 23, 2026
Ruby4.8.6

Fixed

  • Fix host-metrics leaking zombie [timeout] processes in Alpine linux containers.

    Before this release AppSignal agent relied on a proper init process that reaps child processes killed by system timeout. Now the agent terminates and reaps unresponsive child processes in host-metrics collection and a subreaper is no longer required.
