Application Insights Java SDK 2.5.0-BETA

Introducing Application Insights Java SDK 2.5.0-BETA! This release introduces some very exciting changes to the agent and adds support for the latest versions of Java!

Enhancements

SDK-wide

1. Added Java 9/10/11/12 support
2. Introduced new jar, applicationinsights-web-auto.jar, which automatically registers the web filter. No need to modify web.xml or add @WebFilter.
3. Simplifies role name configuration by adding <RoleName> tag in ApplicationInsights.xml.

New Agent Features

1. Generic JDBC driver support: captures JDBC queries for all JDBC drivers.
2. Automatically captures dependencies for async requests by tracking the request across multiple threads.
3. Agent now captures application logging from Log4j 2/1.2 and Logback.
   • This removes the need to add the applicationinsights-logging-*.jar dependency and modify the application's logging configuration.
4. Improved HTTP client support:
   • java.net.HttpURLConnection
   • Apache HttpClient 3.x
   • OkHttp3
   • OkHttp2 now supports distributed tracing
5. Sets Operation Name automatically based on Spring @RequestMapping, JAX-RS @Path and Struts action class/method name.
   • This removes the need for RequestNameHandlerInterceptorAdapter or other interceptors.
6. Agent now supports multiple applications deployed in the same application server (temporarily in the 2.4.0)
7. Simplified JBoss and Wildfly deployment when using the agent: no need for workarounds using jboss.modules.system.pkgs, java.util.logging.manager, -Xbootclasspath

Removed/Deprecated

1. Removed support for <Class> custom instrumentation in AI-Agent.xml
2. Removed support for <RuntimeException> custom instrumentation in AI-Agent.xml

Miscellaneous

• Starting with this release, you can now find the agent and the collectd plugin on Maven Central as applicationinsights-agent and applicationinsights-collectd under the same group, com.microsoft.azure.

Application Insights Java SDK 2.4.0

This introduces Application Insights Java SDK 2.4.0. This adds all the functionality introduced in 2.4.0-BETA and some additional bug fixes and enhancements.

Important Note: Spring Boot Starter Version

Previously, the Spring Boot Starter had an independent version number, causing some confusion. Future versions the Spring Boot Starter version will track with the SDK version. There will not be a Spring Boot Starter version 1.2.0, and in it's place version 2.4.0.

Changes introduced in 2.4.0-BETA

The changes to WebTelemetryModule in 2.4.0-BETA were reverted back the state in 2.3.1.

Enhancements

1. Added retries to CDSProfileFetcher #901
2. Added caching of sdk version id, reducing number of file IO operations #896

Bug Fixes

1. Fix #907 - Ensures string compare is case insensitive when running a SQL explain on a select statement.
2. Fixed ThreadLocal leak #887
3. Fixed QuickPulse schema version #904
4. Fix #919 - Fixed issue when adding duplicate Windows performance counter.
5. Misc stability improvements #932, #941, #945, #946, #947, #948

Application Insights Java SDK 2.4.0-BETA

Welcome to Application Insights Java SDK 2.4.0-BETA and SpringBoot Starter 1.2.0-BETA. This version introduces several enhancement and bug fixes.

Removed and Deprecated

1. Removed support for multiple apps instrumented with single JVM Agent. Instrumentation will only work for single apps in application server.
2. Deprecated class ApplicationInsightsHttpResponseWrapper.java

Breaking change

1. WebRequestTelemetry interface now has another method setRequestTelemetryContext. This is needed to propagate context explicitly in asynchronous environments. This change is likely to break clients relying on implementation of this interface in their code.

Enhancements

1. Introduced beta support for manual context propagation in Async and Explicit Multithreading scenarios.
   Please refer to this wiki (https://github.com/Microsoft/ApplicationInsights-Java/wiki/Distributed-Tracing-in-Asynchronous-Java-Applications) for instructions.
2. #444 Introduced support to capture asynchronous request.
3. #749 Introduce beta supported instrumentation for Postgres SQL jdbc4 driver prepared statements via JVM Agent.
4. Introduced experimental API's AIHttpServletListener, HttpServerHandler, ApplicationInsightsServletExtractor and HttpExtractor.
5. Introduced WebTelemetryModule.setRequestTelemetryContext API.
6. #797 SDKLogger can now be enabled using system properties.

Bug Fixes

1. #879 Fixed issue with request/dependency correlation
2. Fixed #826 Remove duplicate Postgres provider.
3. #881 Fix SDK version in QuickPulse Telemetry.
4. #883 Fixed dependency metric collection for QuickPulse/LiveMetrics
5. #852 Fixed bug in PreparedStatementVisitor to instrument all overloads of setTimestamp.
6. Various stability improvements: #850 #849 #842 #847 #843 #887 #888
