Agent Enhancements

This release introduces support for importing root certificates on Windows Docker image. To specify the root certificate path, configure the APPDYNAMICS_EVENTS_CERTIFICATE_PATH variable. See Deploy Analytics in Kubernetes.

You can now:

• Auto-scale the replicas using Target Allocator. See Target Allocator and Configure Cluster Agent.
• Use the new parameter, reuseNodeName, to reuse the node names when auto-instrumenting the Java Agent. See reuseNodeName at Auto-Instrument Configuration.
• modify the namespaces in the UI because it takes the precedence over the YAML configuration.
• The Cluster Agent and Operator images are upgraded to Golang 1.23.4.

See Cluster Agent Resolved issues for the bug fixes.

• Support for pgvector monitoring. See Set up pgvector for Monitoring and pgvector Metrics.
• Downgraded the MongoDB driver to 4.6.1 to support monitoring MongoDB <3.6.

• Upgraded to the following third-party components:

  Component	Previous Version	Upgraded Version
  azul-jre	17.52	17.54
  mssql-jdbc	7.4.1.jre8.jar	12.8.0.jre8.jar

• The Java Agent now assigns the container ID only when it detects a valid container ID. If it fails to retrieve the container ID after 15 attempts (approximately eight minutes), it logs an error and does not register agent with the Controller. However, the application will start as usual after the default timeout of one minute. In such cases, review the container or agent logs to resolve the issue.
• Supports Micronaut 4.0.x - 4.6.x. See Java Supported Environments.
• Records the HTTP 400 and 500 error code URLs in business transaction snapshots. See the enable-http-error-code-url-report node property.
• Includes bug fixes. See Agent Resolved Issues.
• Includes security updates for the following third-party components:

  Library	From	To
  commons-codec	1.15	1.17.1
  commons-math	2.1	2.2

• Introduces Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) monitoring. Enable the sim.cluster.gpu.enabled account property to enable this feature. See Configure GPU Monitoring.This feature introduces following metrics on the Servers List and Server Dashboard pages:

  Page	Metrics
  Servers List	GPU Utilization (%) GPU Memory Utilization (%)
  Server Dashboard	GPU Utilization (%) GPU Memory Utilization (%) GPU Temperature (C) GPU Power Usage (W) GPU PCIe Tx Throughput GPU PCIe Rx Throughput

• Introduces URL monitoring. Configure the urlMonitorConfig setting to enable this feature. See URL Monitoring Metrics.
• Introduces an option to specify the maximum number of processes that Machine Agent can monitor. See Maximum Processes Monitored.

• Upgrades the following vulnerable third-party libraries:

  Component	Upgraded Version
  openssl	3.4.0
  expat	2.5.0
  zlib	1.3.1
  jetty-server	9.4.56
  giflib	5.2.1
  jpeglib	2.1.5
  ncurses	6.4

• For bug fixes, see Agent Resolved Issues.

Upgrades the following third-party libraries:

• Includes the following improvement to Request Agent Log Files of .Net Agent:
  • Automatically deletes log file when the log request is complete
  • Supports Linux environment
• Provides the following support for Apache Kafka:
  • Entry and exit point detection
  • Downstream correlation

See Kafka Instrumentation for .NET.

• For the .Net applications, you can now associate error detection methods, log messages, and HTTP codes with business transactions. See Error Detection.
• For bug fixes, see Agent Resolved Issues.

Python Agent

• This release onwards, the Python Agent supports Python 3.12.
• Deprecates the support for Python 3.7. See End of Life Notice: Python 3.7.
• Provides an option to monitor Generative AI applications that are built using Langchain and AWS Bedrock.
  • Monitor Generative AI applications built by Using LangChain
  • Monitor Generative AI Applications built using AWS Bedrock

25.1.0

Smart Agent

• You can now use a separate user and group to install agents instead of the root user, which is used for installing Smart Agent. See Custom Configuration.
• For bug fixes, see Resolved Issues.

This release supports:

• Chrome browser version 132. See Configure Synthetic Jobs.
  Note:

  From February 23, 2025, the Chrome version 132 is supported on the AWS locations.

  From March 23, 2025, the Chrome version 132 is also supported on the Azure locations.

• Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) multi-factor authentication method for your applications. See Authentication Methods.
