OneAgent

Java

• Support added for Tibco BusinessWorks JMS to Soap binding

.NET

• General availability (GA) for F# support including end-2-end tracing using asynchronous workflows.
• We’re starting two new Early Access Programs (EAP) for IBM Message Queue tracing as well Azure ServiceBus tracing.
• Injection into .NET processes has been greatly improved, especially in cases of so-called “lazy CLR initialization.”
• Starting with OneAgent 1.157, OneAgent SDK for .NET version 1.1.0-alpha (Early Access) now supports tracing of remote calls. This version is no longer compatible with earlier OneAgent versions.

Go

• End of beta phase, General availability
• Support for Go 1.10.1

VMware

• It’s now possible to see all the VMs for individual ESXi hosts without drilling into any specific resource utilization category. The VMs are sorted based on the resource dimension (CPU usage, memory, etc.) selected in the main infographics.
  

Docker

• MACVLAN network mode is now reported for Docker on Linux.
• Network mode CONTAINER is now detected and the reference to the actual network mode is provided.
• Gathering metrics for Docker Containers is now more resilient to Docker API timeouts.
• Docker image version is now written to the log in case OneAgent is deployed as a container.

General improvements

• OneAgent for AIX is now capable of detecting and naming Oracle processes.
• OneAgent for Windows and Linux is now capable of detecting and naming DB2 processes.
• The performance of OneAgent on AIX operating system has been greatly improved, especially during the process of socket readout.
• OneAgent now properly reports on disk statistics when it’s deployed as a container on Google Container Optimized OS (Google COS).
• OneAgent blacklists entire Process Group Instances (PGI) only when the main process matches one of blacklist filters.
• We now report the parent-child relationship between IIS and .NET Core on Windows.
• OneAgent for AIX now skips the unnecessary update check for plugins.
• The OneAgent file aging mechanism now logs all removals of support alerts, memory dumps, and crash alerts.
• AliyunKVM is now discovered and labeled as KVM.
• OneAgent provides IIB version information for detected IIB processes.
• We’ve greatly improved the OneAgent installation and auto-update processes. Most of these changes are transparent to users, though they play a key role in the robustness of OneAgent rollout and updates. Additionally, we’re continuously improving OneAgent self-diagnostics so that our Support team can diagnose and fix potential problems faster.
• The OneAgent EXE Installer for Windows now asks for elevated privileges when starting.
• The OneAgent EXE Installer for Windows now returns a proper exit code on failure.
• We’ve improved how the OneAgent uninstallation process returns the system to the original state when symlinks are used for runc binaries.
