BREAKING Version 4 of the agent implements a new wire protocol for communicating with the APM Server. This format is only supported in APM Server 6.5+.
Further breaking changes:
-
The undocumented
AsyncioHTTPTransport
has been removed. -
The
flush_interval
andmax_queue_size
settings have been removed. -
new settings introduced:
