• hostmetricsreceiver: Add optional Linux-only metric system.linux.memory.available (#7417) This is an alternative to system.memory.usage metric with state=free. Linux starting from 3.14 exports "available" memory. It takes "free" memory as a baseline, and then factors in kernel-specific values. This is supposed to be more accurate than just "free" memory. For reference, see the calculations here. See also MemAvailable in /proc/meminfo.

• pkg/stanza: Fix panic during stop for udp async mode only. (#29120)

v0.89.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• pkg/stanza: Improve parsing of Windows Event XML by handling anonymous Data elements. (#21491) This improves the contents of Windows log events for which the publisher manifest is unavailable. Previously, anonymous Data elements were ignored. This is a breaking change for users who were relying on the previous data format.

• processor/k8sattributes: Graduate "k8sattr.rfc3339" feature gate to Beta. (#28817) Time format of k8s.pod.start_time attribute value migrated from RFC3339: Before: 2023-07-10 12:34:39.740638 -0700 PDT m=+0.020184946 After: 2023-07-10T12:39:53.112485-07:00 The feature gate can be temporary reverted back by adding --feature-gate=-k8sattr.rfc3339 to the command line.

• filelogreceiver: Change "Started watching file" log behavior (#28491) Previously, every unique file path which was found by the receiver would be remembered indefinitely. This list was kept independently of the uniqueness / checkpointing mechanism (which does not rely on the file path). The purpose of this list was to allow us to emit a lot whenever a path was seen for the first time. This removes the separate list and relies instead on the same mechanism as checkpointing. Now, a similar log is emitted any time a file is found which is not currently checkpointed. Because the checkpointing mechanism does not maintain history indefintiely, it is now possible that a log will be emitted for the same file path. This will happen when no file exists at the path for a period of time.

• dockerstatsreceiver: cpu.container.percent metric is removed in favor of container.cpu.utilization (#21807) The metric container.cpu.percentage is now removed. container.cpu.utilization is enabled by default as a replacement. For details, see the docs.

• encoding extensions: Rename encoding extensions for consistency with storage extensions (#24451)

  • jaegerencoding -> jaeger_encoding
  • otlpencoding -> otlp_encoding
  • textencoding -> text_encoding
  • zipkinencoding -> zipkin_encoding
    

• remoteobserverprocessor: Rename remoteobserverprocessor to remotetapprocessor (#27873)

• collectdreceiver: Stop using opencensus metrics, use the obsrecv format (#25148)

🚩 Deprecations 🚩

• datadogexporter: Deprecate config traces::peer_service_aggregation in favor of traces::peer_tags_aggregation (#29089)
• postgresqlreceiver: Deprecation of postgresql replication lag metrics postgresql.wal.lag in favor of more precise 'postgresql.wal.delay' (#26714)

🚀 New components 🚀

💡 Enhancements 💡

• awsxrayexporter: Convert individual HTTP error events into exceptions within subsegments for AWS SDK spans and strip AWS.SDK prefix from remote aws service name (#27232)

• azuremonitorexporter: Added connection string support to the Azure Monitor Exporter (#28853) This enhancement simplifies the configuration process and aligns the exporter with Azure Monitor's recommended practices. The Connection String method allows the inclusion of various fields such as the InstrumentationKey and IngestionEndpoint within a single string, facilitating an easier and more integrated setup. While the traditional InstrumentationKey method remains supported for backward compatibility, it will be phased out. Users are encouraged to adopt the Connection String approach to ensure future compatibility and to leverage the broader configuration options it enables.

• opensearchexporter: Add log exporting capability to the opensearchexporter. (#23611)

• pdatatest: Allow to compare metrics resource attributes or metric attribute values by matching on a portion of the dimension value with a regular expression. (#27690) Use MatchResourceAttributeValue("node_id", "cloud-node") to match two metrics with a resource attribute value that starts with "cloud-node". Use MatchMetricAttributeValue("hostname", "container-tomcat-", "gauge.one", "sum.one") to match metrics with the hostname attribute starting with container-tomcat-.

  • Read the client ID and/or secret from a file by specifying the file path to the ClientIDFile (client_id_file) and ClientSecretFile (client_secret_file) fields respectively.
  • The file is read every time the client issues a new token. This means that the corresponding value can change dynamically during the execution by modifying the file contents.
    

• receiver/hostmetrics: Don't collect connections data from the host if system.network.connections metric is disabled to not waste CPU cycles. (#25815)

• jaegerreceiver,jaegerremotesamplingextension: Add featuregates to replace Thrift-gen with Proto-gen types for sampling strategies (#18401) Available featuregates are:

• filelogreceiver: Fix the behavior of the add operator to continue to support EXPR(env("MY_ENV_VAR")) expressions (#26373)
• snmpreceiver: SNMP values of type Counter64 were seen as unsupported, because the returned data type unint64 was unhandeled. (#23897, #26119)
• pkg/stanza: Fix issue unsupported type 'syslog_parser' (#26452)

v0.84.0

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• jaegerreceiver: Deprecate remote_sampling config in the jaeger receiver (#24186) The jaeger receiver will fail to start if remote_sampling config is specified in it. The receiver.jaeger.DisableRemoteSampling feature gate can be set to let the receiver start and treat remote_sampling config as no-op. In a future version this feature gate will be removed and the receiver will always fail when remote_sampling config is specified.

• googlecloudexporter: remove retry_on_failure from the googlecloud exporter. The exporter itself handles retries, and retrying can cause issues. (#57233)

• vcenterreceiver: Dimensions performance metrics into metric attribute object (#25147) The following metrics have been effected to include the new metric attribute to properly dimension the data.vcenter.vm.network.throughput,vcenter.vm.network.usage,vcenter.vm.network.packet.count,vcenter.vm.disk.latency.avg,vcenter.vm.disk.latency.max,vcenter.host.network.usage,vcenter.host.network.throughput,vcenter.host.network.packet.count,vcenter.host.network.packet.errors, vcenter.host.disk.latency.avg,vcenter.host.disk.latency.max, and vcenter.host.disk.throughput.

🛑 Breaking changes 🛑

• receiver/k8scluster: Unify predefined and custom node metrics. (#24776)

  • Update metrics description and units to be consistent

• prometheusreceiver: Don't drop histograms without buckets (#22070)

• pkg/ottl: Add a new Function Getter to the OTTL package, to allow passing Converters as literal parameters. (#22961) Currently OTTL provides no way to use any defined Converter within another Editor/Converter. Although Converters can be passed as a parameter, they are always executed and the result is what is actually passed as the parameter. This allows OTTL to pass Converters themselves as a parameter so they can be executed within the function.

• resourcedetectionprocessor: GCP resource detection processor can automatically add gcp.gce.instance.hostname and gcp.gce.instance.name attributes. (#24598)

• splunkhecexporter: Add heartbeat check while startup and new config param, heartbeat/startup (defaults to false). This is different than the healtcheck_startup, as the latter doesn't take token or index into account. (#24411)

🧰 Bug fixes 🧰

• receiver/sshcheck: Add the SSH endpoint as a resource attribute (#24441)

• awsemfexporter: Enforce time to live on metric data that is stored for the purpose of cumulative to delta conversions within EMF Exporter (#25058) This change fixes a bug where the cache used to store metric information for cumulative to delta conversions was not enforcing its time to live. This could cause excessive memory growth in certain scenarios which could lead to OOM failures for Collector. To properly fix this issue package global metric caches were removed and replaced with caches that are unique per emf exporter. A byproduct of this change is that no two emf exporters within an Collector will share a caches leading to more accurate cumulative to delta conversions.

• awsemfexporter: Add retain_initial_value_of_delta_metric to translateOTelToGroupedMetric, allowing the initial set of metrics to be published (#24051)

• carbonreceiver: Fix Carbon receiver obsrecv operations memory leak (#24275) The carbonreceiver has a memory leak where it will repeatedly open new obsrecv operations but not close them afterwards. Those operations eventually create a burden.

The fix is to make sure the receiver only creates an operation per interaction over TCP.

• datadogexporter: Populate OTLP resource attributes in Datadog logs. Changes mapping for jvm.loaded_classes from process.runtime.jvm.classes.loaded to process.runtime.jvm.classes.current_loaded. (#24674)
• datadogexporter: Fix the population of Datadog system.* metrics. Ensure the average is within [min, max] in histograms. (#25071) The minimum and maximum estimation is only used when the minimum and maximum are not available in the OTLP payload or this is a cumulative payload.
• pkg/stanza: Create a new decoder for each TCP/UDP connection to prevent concurrent write to buffer. (#24980)
• exporter/kafkaexporter: Fixes a panic when SASL configuration is not present (#24797)
• lokitranslator, lokiexporter: Fixes a panic that occurred during the promotion of nested attributes containing dots to labels (#25125)
• awsxrayexporter: Fix X-Ray Segment status code and exception translations. (#24381)

• receiver/haproxy: Make sure emitted resource metrics have distinct resources by default (#24921) This is done by enabling and renaming the following resource attributes:

  • proxy_name -> haproxy.proxy_name
  • service_name -> haproxy.service_name
    

• receiver/k8sobjects: Fix bug where duplicate data would be ingested for watch mode if the client connection got reset. (#24806)

• datadogreceiver: Fixed NPE on failed to decode message path (#24562)

• zipkinreceiver: Respects zipkin's serialised status tags to be converted to span status (#14965)

• datadogexporter: Correctly set metrics exporter capabilities to state that it mutates data (#24908) This could lead to random panics if using more than one metrics exporter.

• processor/resourcedetection: Do not drop all system attributes if host.id cannot be fetched. (#24669)

• signalfxexporter: convert vmpage_io* translated metrics to pages (#25064)

• receiver/awsfirehose: Change the type of Config.AccessKey to be configopaque.String (#17273)
• receiver/cloudfoundry: Change the type of Config.UAA.Password to be configopaque.String (#17273)
• exporter/datasetexporter: Remove temporary client side attribute aggregation and corresponding traces.max_wait and traces.aggregate config options which are now redundant. (#20660) This pull request removes the following attributes from the DataSet trace events: services, span_count, error_count. Those attributes were populated on the client side as part of the client side aggregation code. This client side aggregation was meant as a temporary solution until a proper solution is implement on the server side. Being a temporary solution meant it had many edge cases and would only work under specific and limited circumstances (all spans which belong to a trace are part of the same batch received by the plugin).
  

Corresponding config options (traces.aggregate and traces.max_wait) which are not redundant and unused have also been removed.

• mysqlreceiver: removing mysql.locked_connects metric which is replaced by mysql.connection.errors (#23211)

• receiver/httpcheck: Fail fast on endpoint missing scheme (#23020) Previously, when configured with an endpoint without HTTP/HTTPS scheme like "opentelemetry.io", the receiver would start correctly, but fail to check the endpoint, producing the httpcheck.error metric on every collection interval. After this change, the receiver fails to start, writing an error log saying that you need to provide a scheme in the endpoint.

• websocketprocessor: Rename websocketprocessor to remoteobserverprocessor (#23856)

• resourcedetectionprocessor: Adds a way to configure the list of added resource attributes by the processor (#21482) Users can now configure what resource attributes are gathered by specific detectors. Example configuration:

  resourcedetection:
  detectors: [system, ec2]
  system:
    resource_attributes:
      host.name:
        enabled: true
      host.id:
        enabled: false
  ec2:
    resource_attributes:
      host.name:
        enabled: false
      host.id:
        enabled: true
  

For example, this config makes host.name being set by system detector, and host.id by ec2 detector. Moreover:

• Existing behavior remains unaffected as all attributes are currently enabled by default.
• The default attributes 'enabled' values are defined in metadata.yaml.
• Future releases will introduce changes to resource_attributes enabled values.

• Users can tailor resource detection process to their needs and environment.

• spanmetricsconnector: Added disabling options for histogram metrics and option to exclude default labels from all metrics. In some cases users want to optionally disable part of metrics because they generate too much data or are not needed. (#16344)

• statsdreceiver: All receivers are setting receiver name and version when sending data. This change introduces the same behaviour to the statsd receiver. (#23563)

• zookeeperreceiver: Adds an additional health check metric based off of the response from the zookeeper ruok 4lw command. (#21481)

Use the feature gate processor.servicegraph.legacyLatencyMetricNames to enable the old metric names.

• prometheusreceiver, prometheusexporter, prometheusremotewrite: Disable pkg.translator.prometheus.NormalizeName feature gate by default (#23208) The feature gate pkg.translator.prometheus.NormalizeName was enabled prematurely while translation on the prometheus receiver was incomplete. To address this, the feature gate has been reverted back to alpha status. This will remain the case until the translation on the receiver side aligns with the translation on the exporter side, or until it is replaced with a configuration option or completely removed. To maintain the current behavior, you can enable the feature gate using the --feature-gates=pkg.translator.prometheus.NormalizeName command argument. However, please note that the translation in the prometheus receiver is a subject to future changes.
