This release brings numerous improvements in sample collection, integration capabilities, logging detail, and bug fixes, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the Edge Delta Agent.

New Features

  • Grok: Added a new parser node used for parsing log data into attributes using common log patterns.
  • Google Cloud Logging Node: Introduced a new output node for sending data to Google Cloud Logging API.

Enhancements

  • Custom HTTP Headers: Enabled the creation of custom HTTP headers with key/value pairs for HTTP output nodes. Currently supports hardcoded strings.
  • Splunk Integration: Removed legacy support for features from v3 Splunk output.

Bug Fixes

  • Agent Exit Code: Changed the agent to explicitly set exit code to 1 on graceful shutdown due to errors, ensuring proper restart by controllers like systemd, Kubernetes, etc.
  • Container Stats Memory Issue: Fixed a memory leak issue caused by the ED Container Stats input node in Kubernetes environments.
  • Log Metadata: Enhanced agent self logs to include package, file, and line number information for better debugging.
  • Compactor Buffer Flush Fix: Resolved an issue with compactor prematurely flushing the internal archive buffer before the S3 pusher could send the data. Disabled compaction except for Avro encoding and uncompressed third-party archive outputs.
  • Late Arrival Handling: Removed non-configurable late arrival handling from several input nodes. Late arrival is handled by the line-separator.
  • Kubernetes Resources: Fix issue of missing resource values for Kubernetes agents.

Miscellaneous

  • Converted datatype-related functions to variables to optimize memory utilization.
