Notable changes:

• As of this release, the Grafana Agent will send anonymous, but uniquely-identifiable information around enabled feature flags to stats.grafana.org. Statistics help us better understand how Grafana Agent is used. This helps us prioritize features and documentation. If you would like to disable the reporting, Grafana Agent provides the flag -disable-reporting to stop the reporting.

• (beta) This release adds support for using the Windows certificate store for TLS connections.

Breaking changes

• Traces: Use rpc.grpc.status_code attribute to determine
  span failed in the service graph processor (@rcrowe)

BREAKING CHANGES: This release has breaking changes. Please read entries carefully and consult the upgrade guide for specific instructions.

GRAFANA AGENT OPERATOR USERS: As of this release, Grafana Agent Operator does not support versions of Grafana Agent prior to v0.24.0.

Grafana Agent

• consulagent_sd is now supported for all target discoveries
• docker_sd is now supported for log target discovery (previously it was only available for metrics and traces)
• An experimental feature called "dynamic configuration" is now available. This allows you to configure Grafana Agent through a templating language with support for pulling data from remote systems such as S3.
• Grafana Agent now implements a remote_write endpoint at /agent/api/v1/metrics/instance/{instance}/write

Grafana Agent Operator

This release extends the GrafanaAgent CRD to allow enabling the config read API.
