v0.13.1

[rfratto]

This is release v0.13.1 of the Grafana Cloud Agent.

Upgrading

Read the migration guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.

Notable changes:

This is a minor patch release with one change to address issues with the Grafana Agent's Prometheus Remote Write compliance:

• Validate that incoming scraped metrics do not have an empty label set or a label set with duplicate labels, mirroring the behavior of Prometheus.

This patch release does not come with any other 0.14.0-rc features, enhancements, or bugfixes.

Installation:

Grafana Cloud Agent is currently distributed in plain binary form, Docker
container images, and a Kubernetes install script. Choose whichever fits your
use-case best.

Kubernetes Install Script

The following scripts will download and install two Kubernetes manifests for the
Agent. The first manifest collects metrics, the second collects logs, and the
final collects traces. You will be prompted for input for each manifest. The
script requires curl and envsubst (GNU gettext).

NAMESPACE="default" /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.13.1/production/kubernetes/install.sh)" | kubectl apply -f -
NAMESPACE="default" /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.13.1/production/kubernetes/install-loki.sh)" | kubectl apply -f -
NAMESPACE="default" /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.13.1/production/kubernetes/install-tempo.sh)" | kubectl apply -f -
