Breaking changes

  • A summary of the changes can be found in the OpenTelemetry documentation.
  • This change may affect transaction names for some applications.
• Reworked runtime metrics to match the semantic conventions
  • Semantic Node.js and V8 metrics are now collected.

  • This change may affect custom dashboards and alerts.
  • A new dashboard for Node.js applications powered by these metrics will be available in the future.
• The fs, net and dns instrumentations are now disabled by default as they are very noisy, and must be explicitly enabled if required.
  • See the configuration options for instrumentations.
