Releases: grafana/agent
v0.3.2
A little over a week from v0.3.1
and it's time for a new patch release with v0.3.2
!
Notable changes:
This release primarily focuses on fixing bugs from v0.3.0 and v0.3.1 and is recommended for all v0.3.x
users:
-
[BUGFIX] A deadlock in scraping service mode when updating a config that shards to the same node has been fixed (@rfratto)
-
[BUGFIX] remote_write config stanzas will no longer ignore password_file (@rfratto)
-
[BUGFIX] scrape_config client secrets (e.g., basic auth, bearer token, password_file) will now be properly retained in scraping service mode (@rfratto)
-
[BUGFIX] Labels for CPU, RX, and TX graphs in the Agent Operational dashboard now correctly show the pod name of the Agent instead of the exporter name. (@rfratto)
There is one other major change that requires caution: the Tanka configs and Kubernetes manifest now use different labels for metrics scraped from pods discovered using Kubernetes SD. The previous instance
label has been renamed to pod
, and a new instance
label with fully unique values has taken its place. A container
label has also been added.
This change was made to sync with the Prometheus Ksonnet found in grafana/jsonnet-libs, and is now matches up with labeling standards from the Kubernetes ecosystem.
The agent dashboard mixins have been updated to accomodate the new labels, so if you update your grafana/agent
to v0.3.2 and use our Tanka configs or our Kubernetes manifest, you should also update your mixins (if deployed) for the dashboards to work properly. No other changes are required when updating to v0.3.2
.
As always, the full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG.

v0.3.0
This is release v0.3.0
of the Grafana Cloud Agent! 🎉
Before we dive into the notable changes, a huge shoutout is deserved for @hoenn and @gotjosh who have been spending a lot of time helping out with the Agent and pushing it to grow ❤️. Every contribution, whether
it's review feedback or a PR, is greatly appreciated.
Notable changes:
We've been hard at work implementing a new operational mode for the Agent, which we're calling the "scraping service mode." The scraping service mode allows you to deploy a clustered set of Agents that automatically balance scrape load between them based on the number of Agents within the cluster. The scraping service mode is experimental and should be used with caution.
Released alongside the scraping service mode is agentctl
, which will aim to help users interact with the Agent. The v0.3.0
release gives agentctl
the ability to sync config files to the KV store used for the scraping service mode. For more info on the scraping service mode and agentctl
, check out its dedicated docs.

v0.2.0
The v0.2.0
release of the Grafana Cloud Agent approaches! v0.2.0
is a small release, but important as it fixes a critical bug around scraping cAdvisor and Kubelet metrics when using Kubernetes service discovery with role: node
configured.
Notable changes:
-
[FEATURE] The Prometheus remote write protocol will now send scraped metadata (metric name, help, type and unit). This results in almost negligent bytes sent increase as metadata is only sent every minute. It is on by default. (@gotjosh)
These metrics are available to monitor metadata being sent:
prometheus_remote_storage_succeeded_metadata_total
prometheus_remote_storage_failed_metadata_total
prometheus_remote_storage_retried_metadata_total
prometheus_remote_storage_sent_batch_duration_seconds
and
prometheus_remote_storage_sent_bytes_total
have a new label “type” with
the values ofmetadata
orsamples
.
-
[FEATURE] The Agent has upgraded its vendored Prometheus to v2.17.1 (@rfratto)
-
[BUGFIX] Invalid configs passed to the agent will now stop the process after they are logged as invalid; previously the Agent process would continue. (@rfratto)
-
[BUGFIX] Enabling host_filter will now allow metrics from node role Kubernetes service discovery to be scraped properly (e.g., cAdvisor, Kubelet). (@rfratto)
