v1.8.0

What's Changed

Breaking changes 🔨

Network metrics: new behavior of the direction field

The direction attribute (whose values were ingress/egress until Beyla 1.7.0) has been renamed to iface_direction. This attribute specifies in which direction of the network interface is a flow captured (ingress or egress).

Since Beyla 1.8.0, the direction attribute shows the direction of a connection (valid for TCP): request or response.

PR: #1074

Process CPU metrics: rename attribute process.cpu.state to cpu.mode

Process metrics are still an experimental/unstable OpenTelemetry specification. We renamed that attribute according to the latest changes in the specification.

PR: #1110

Internal metrics: renamed beyla_build_info to beyla_internal_build_info

This breaking change should not have noticeable effect in someone, as internal metrics are aimed to debug Beyla.

v1.7.0

Beyla 1.7.0 is out with a huge amount of features and bugfixes!

Please check the Beyla documentation for more information about how to configure and enable them: https://grafana.com/docs/beyla/latest/

What's Changed

Breaking changes 🔨

Use proper pre/suffixes for internal metrics names by @marctc in #941

This breaking change would only affect users configuring Beyla to report internal metrics of its own Behavior (mainly used for performance testing and debugging purposes)

Fix typo in BPF debug yaml field by @marctc in #964

Replaces the bfp_debug configuration option by bpf_debug. This option is mainly used by Beyla developers for internal debugging.

enable by default: server_address and server_port attributes by @mariomac in #989

The user still has the possibility to disable them by means of the attributes selection YAML section.

Set heuristic as default value for unmatched routes arg by @marctc in #988

The user still has the possibility to disable heuristic routes in the routes YAML configuration.

Bug fixes 🐛

• check kafka pkt length before parsing clientid by @esara in #906
• Fix race condition in Expiry Map by @mariomac in #946

Highlighted additions

Reporting application processes

⚠️ This feature is based in the current OpenTelemetry semantic convention for OS Processes, which is currently marked as Experimental. You might expect some breaking changes in the future.

Add application_process to the BEYLA_OTEL_METRIC_FEATURES or BEYLA_PROMETHEUS_FEATURES option to get the following Process metrics:

• process.cpu.time
• process.cpu.utilization
• process.memory.usage
• process.memory.virtual
• process.disk.io
• process.network.io

New supported protocols for Go and Non-Go programs

Beyla now supports the following application protocols for both Go programs:

• Redis
• Kafka
• SQL

Network metrics, new client.port and server.port attributes

Network metrics bring src.port and dst.port, which would be swapped in request and response network metrics. client.port and server.port remain consistent for both request and response network metrics.
