Your Java agent version will be printed to your console. + +Then, to update to the latest Java agent version: + +1. Back up the **entire** [Java agent root directory](/docs/agents/manage-apm-agents/troubleshooting/find-agent-root-directory#java-agent) to another location. Rename that directory to `NewRelic_Agent#.#.#`, where `#.#.#` is the agent version number. +2. [Download the agent.](/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes) +3. Unzip the new agent download file, then copy `newrelic-api.jar` and `newrelic.jar` into the original [Java agent root directory](/docs/agents/manage-apm-agents/troubleshooting/find-agent-root-directory#java-agent). +4. Compare your old `newrelic.yml` with the newly downloaded `newrelic.yml` from the zip, and [update the file if needed](#diff). +5. Restart your Java dispatcher. + +If you experience issues after the Java agent update, restore from the backed-up New Relic agent directory. + +## Update agent config differences [#diff] + +We add new settings to `newrelic.yml` as we release new versions of the agent. You can use `diff` or another diffing utility to see what's changed, and add the new config settings to your old file. Make sure not to overwrite any customizations you've made to the file, such as your license key, app name, or changes to default settings. + +For example, if you `diff` the default `newrelic.yml` files for Java agent versions 7.10.0 and 7.11.0, the results printed to the console will be like: + +``` +➜ diff newrelic_7.10.0.yml newrelic_7.11.0.yml +... +107a108,119 +> # Whether the log events should include context from loggers with support for that. +> include_context_data: +> +> # When true, application logs will contain context data. +> enabled: false +> +> # A comma separated list of attribute keys whose values should be sent to New Relic. +> #include: +> +> # A comma separated list of attribute keys whose values should not be sent to New Relic. +> #exclude: +> +125a138 +> +128c141 +< enabled: false +--- +> enabled: true +... +``` + +In this example, these lines were added to the default `newrelic.yml` in Java agent version 7.11.0. If you are moving to 7.11.0 or higher, you should add these new lines to your original `newrelic.yml`. + +## Support statement: + +* New Relic recommends that you upgrade the agent regularly to ensure that you're getting the latest features and performance benefits. Additionally, older releases will no longer be supported when they reach [end-of-life](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/using-new-relic/cross-product-functions/install-configure/notification-changes-new-relic-saas-features-distributed-software/). + From 97a5ad1bf80b16b3cd16d3c705d949717b503fe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zuluecho9 Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 05:35:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] fix(java release): minor TW edits --- .../java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx b/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx index ead6a30c057..b8f3df35ebe 100644 --- a/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx +++ b/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx @@ -20,21 +20,21 @@ security: [] ## New features and improvements -* Batch Payloads and Compression for Infinite Tracing: Enhanced performance by providing option to enable payload compression and batching for Infinite Tracing [1146](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1146). +* Batch payloads and compression for Infinite Tracing: Enhanced performance by providing option to enable payload compression and batching for Infinite Tracing [1146](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1146). -* HttpClient v5.0+ Support: The Java agent now supports HttpClient version 5.0 and above [1252](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1252). +* HttpClient v5.0+ support: The Java agent now supports HttpClient version 5.0 and above [1252](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1252). -* On-the-fly Class Retransformation: Classes with Trace annotation are now retransformed upon attach, enhancing instrumentation flexibility [1147](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1147). +* On-the-fly class retransformation: Classes with Trace annotation are now retransformed upon attach, enhancing instrumentation flexibility [1147](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1147). -* Enhanced Logging for Cats Effect 2: Log Cats Effect 2 instrumentation at Finest log level [1173](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1173). +* Enhanced logging for Cats Effect 2: Log Cats Effect 2 instrumentation at finest log level [1173](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1173). -* High Security Mode disables user tracking +* High security mode disables user tracking [1261](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1261). * Selective RollingFileAppender Usage: The RollingFileAppender is now only used when log_limit_in_kbytes is greater than 0, improving logging efficiency [1228](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1228). ## Fixes -* Fixed Cats Effect 2 Logging: Addressed issues with Cats Effect 2 logging for better reliability [1269](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1269). +* Fixed Cats Effect 2 logging: Addressed issues with Cats Effect 2 logging for better reliability [1269](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1269). ## Update to latest version [#procedures] From 5f5af11006f3151878e066846963b81d888236cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zuluecho9 Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2023 05:57:27 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix(java agent): trying to fix break --- .../agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx b/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx index b8f3df35ebe..2173a63f827 100644 --- a/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx +++ b/src/content/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes/java-agent-830.mdx @@ -32,11 +32,11 @@ security: [] [1261](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1261). * Selective RollingFileAppender Usage: The RollingFileAppender is now only used when log_limit_in_kbytes is greater than 0, improving logging efficiency [1228](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1228). + ## Fixes * Fixed Cats Effect 2 logging: Addressed issues with Cats Effect 2 logging for better reliability [1269](https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-java-agent/pull/1269). - ## Update to latest version [#procedures] To identify which version of the Java agent you're currently using, run `java -jar newrelic.jar -v`.
