Upgrading
Read the relevant upgrade guides for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions:
Notable changes:
Breaking changes
-
Support for 32-bit ARM builds is removed for the foreseeable future due to Go
compiler issues. We will consider bringing back 32-bit ARM support once our Go
compiler issues are resolved and 32-bit ARM builds are stable. -
Agent Management:
agent_management.api_urlconfig field has been replaced by
agent_management.host. The API path and version is now defined by the Agent. -
Agent Management:
agent_management.protocolconfig field now allows defining "http" and "https" explicitly. Previously, "http" was previously used for both, with the actual protocol used inferred from the api url, which led to confusion. When upgrading, make sure to set to "https" when replacingapi_urlwithhost. -
Agent Management:
agent_management.remote_config_cache_locationconfig field has been replaced by
agent_management.remote_configuration.cache_location. -
Remove deprecated symbolic links to to
/bin/agent*in Docker containers,
as planned in v0.31.
Deprecations
- Dynamic Configuration will be removed in v0.34. Grafana Agent Flow supersedes this functionality.
