ChangeLog
2.2.0
- The
Transaction
parameter to NewRoundTripper and StartExternalSegment is now optional: If it isnil
, then aTransaction
will be looked for in the request's context (using FromContext). Passing anil
transaction is STRONGLY recommended when using NewRoundTripper since it allows onehttp.Client.Transport
to be used for multiple transactions. Example use:
client := &http.Client{}
client.Transport = newrelic.NewRoundTripper(nil, client.Transport)
request, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://example.com", nil)
request = newrelic.RequestWithTransactionContext(request, txn)
resp, err := client.Do(request)
- Introduced
Transaction.SetWebRequest(WebRequest)
method which marks the transaction as a web transaction. If theWebRequest
parameter is non-nil,SetWebRequest
will collect details on request attributes, url, and method. This method is useful if you don't have access to the request at the beginning of the transaction, or if your request is not an*http.Request
(just add methods to your request that satisfy WebRequest). To use an*http.Request
as the parameter, use the NewWebRequest transformation function. Example:
var request *http.Request = getInboundRequest()
txn.SetWebRequest(newrelic.NewWebRequest(request))
-
Fixed
Debug
innrlogrus
package. Previous versions of the New Relic Go Agent incorrectly logged to Info level instead of Debug. This has now been fixed. Thanks to @paddycarey for catching this. -
nrgin.Transaction may now be called with either a
context.Context
or a*gin.Context
. If you were passing a*gin.Context
around your functions as acontext.Context
, you may access the Transaction by calling either nrgin.Transaction or FromContext. These functions now work nicely together. For example, FromContext will return theTransaction
added by nrgin.Middleware. Thanks to @rodriguezgustavo for the suggestion.
2.1.0
-
The Go Agent now supports distributed tracing.
Distributed tracing lets you see the path that a request takes as it travels through your distributed system. By showing the distributed activity through a unified view, you can troubleshoot and understand a complex system better than ever before.
Distributed tracing is available with an APM Pro or equivalent subscription. To see a complete distributed trace, you need to enable the feature on a set of neighboring services. Enabling distributed tracing changes the behavior of some New Relic features, so carefully consult the transition guide before you enable this feature.
To enable distributed tracing, set the following fields in your config. Note that distributed tracing and cross application tracing cannot be used simultaneously.
config := newrelic.NewConfig("Your Application Name", "__YOUR_NEW_RELIC_LICENSE_KEY__")
config.CrossApplicationTracer.Enabled = false
config.DistributedTracer.Enabled = true
Please refer to the distributed tracing section of the guide for more detail on how to ensure you get the most out of the Go agent's distributed tracing support.
- Added functions NewContext and FromContext for adding and retrieving the Transaction from a Context. Handlers instrumented by WrapHandle, WrapHandleFunc, and nrgorilla.InstrumentRoutes may use FromContext on the request's context to access the Transaction. Thanks to @caarlos0 for the contribution! Though NewContext and FromContext require Go 1.7+ (when context was added), RequestWithTransactionContext is always exported so that it can be used in all framework and library instrumentation.
2.0.0
-
The
End()
functions defined on theSegment
,DatastoreSegment
, andExternalSegment
types now receive the segment as a pointer, rather than as a value. This prevents unexpected behaviour when a call toEnd()
is deferred before one or more fields are changed on the segment.In practice, this is likely to only affect this pattern:
defer newrelic.DatastoreSegment{ // ... }.End()
Instead, you will now need to separate the literal from the deferred call:
ds := newrelic.DatastoreSegment{ // ... } defer ds.End()
When creating custom and external segments, we recommend using
newrelic.StartSegment()
andnewrelic.StartExternalSegment()
, respectively. -
Added GoDoc badge to README. Thanks to @mrhwick for the contribution!
-
Config.UseTLS
configuration setting has been removed to increase security. TLS will now always be used in communication with New Relic Servers.
1.11.0
-
We've closed the Issues tab on GitHub. Please visit our support site to get timely help with any problems you're having, or to report issues.
-
Added support for Cross Application Tracing (CAT). Please refer to the CAT section of the guide for more detail on how to ensure you get the most out of the Go agent's new CAT support.
-
The agent now collects additional metadata when running within Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Pivotal Cloud Foundry. This information is used to provide an enhanced experience when the agent is deployed on those platforms.
1.10.0
-
Added new
RecordCustomMetric
method to Application. This functionality can be used to track averages or counters without using custom events. -
Fixed import needed for logrus. The import Sirupsen/logrus had been renamed to sirupsen/logrus. Thanks to @alfred-landrum for spotting this.
-
Added ErrorAttributer, an optional interface that can be implemented by errors provided to
Transaction.NoticeError
to attach additional attributes. These attributes are subject to attribute configuration. -
Added Error, a type that allows direct control of error fields. Example use:
txn.NoticeError(newrelic.Error{
// Message is returned by the Error() method.
Message: "error message: something went very wrong",
Class: "errors are aggregated by class",
Attributes: map[string]interface{}{
"important_number": 97232,
"relevant_string": "zap",
},
})
- Updated license to address scope of usage.

-
Fixed incorrect metric rule application when the metric rule is flagged to terminate and matches but the name is unchanged.
-
Segment.End()
,DatastoreSegment.End()
, andExternalSegment.End()
methods now return an error which may be helpful in diagnosing situations where segment data is unexpectedly missing.
1.7.0
- Added support for gorilla/mux in the new
nrgorilla
package.
1.6.0
-
Added support for custom error messages and stack traces. Errors provided to

The number of heap objects allocated is recorded in the
Memory/Heap/AllocatedObjects
metric. This will soon be displayed on the "Go runtime" page. -
If the DatastoreSegment fields
Host
andPortPathOrID
are not provided, they will no longer appear as"unknown"
in transaction traces and slow query traces. -
Stack traces will now be nicely aligned in the APM UI.
1.4.0
-
Added support for slow query traces. Slow datastore segments will now generate slow query traces viewable on the datastore tab. These traces include a stack trace and help you to debug slow datastore activity. Slow Query Documentation
-
Added new DatastoreSegment fields
ParameterizedQuery
,QueryParameters
,Host
,PortPathOrID
, andDatabaseName
. These fields will be shown in transaction traces and in slow query traces.
1.3.0
- Breaking Change: Added a timeout parameter to the
Application.Shutdown
method.
1.2.0
-
Added support for instrumenting short-lived processes:
- The new

packages then you will need to removeapi
from the import path. -
Breaking Logging Changes
Logging is no longer controlled though a single global. Instead, logging is
configured on a per-application basis with the new Config.Logger
field. The
logger is an interface described in log.go. See
GUIDE.md#logging.
0.6.1
- No longer create "GC/System/Pauses" metric if no GC pauses happened.
0.6.0

,http.Flusher
,http.Hijacker
, andio.ReaderFrom
to match the behavior of its wrappedhttp.ResponseWriter
. -
Changed project name from
go-sdk
togo-agent
.
0.4.0
- Queue time support added: if the inbound request contains an
"X-Request-Start"
or"X-Queue-Start"
header with a unix timestamp, the agent will report queue time metrics. Queue time will appear on the application overview chart. The timestamp may fractional seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds: the agent will deduce the correct units.
