1.29.0 - 2024/09/18

edit

This release includes a breaking change in how we parse and send transaction cookies. In 1.26.0, we introduced improved cookie redaction based on the SanitizeFieldNames configuration. To implement this, we extracted each cookie from the Cookie header, storing them in a cookie dictionary on the transaction request data. We have identified a problem with the storage of cookies that include period characters due to the mapping of such data when stored in the APM data stream. This behaviour can lead to lost transactions on requests which include such cookies. This is common in ASP.NET Core due to the default cookie names used for sessions, authentication, etc.

In this release, we no longer parse out individual cookies, and the cookie Dictionary has been removed from the data model. This means that cookies will no longer be indexed individually. However, we have ensured that we retain the primary reason for the earlier change, which was to redact the values of sensitive cookies. Any cookies with a name matching the SanitizeFieldNames patterns will be redacted in the value of the Cookie header we store.

For most consumers, we expect the impact to be minimal. However, if you were relying on the parsed cookie fields, adjustments will be necessary to work with the Cookie header value instead.

1.26.0 - 2024/02/20

edit

This release introduces more thorough sanitization of request/response cookies to align with the APM spec. The incoming Cookie is now redacted by default. The cookies it contains are extracted and sanitized according to the SanitizeFieldNames configuration. Response headers are now correctly sanitized, including the Set-Cookie header. This is a behaviour change!

1.25.2 - 2023/12/13

edit

This release fixes a bug in Elastic.Apm.AspNetCore when using ` UseElasticApm()` not correctly setting status codes. The bug was not present in the more commonly used Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll since it uses a DiagnosticListener approach. With this release we ensure both packages use the exact same DiagnosticListener mechanism to instrument ASP.NET Core.

  • #2054 Eager load APM configuration.
  • #2049 Increase logging of profiler if expected rejit target is not found.

1.21.0 - 2023/04/05

edit

This release includes two breaking changes that have minimal impact.

  • We removed support for target frameworks which have gone into end-of-life support by Microsoft. The impact should be minimal, however as we continue to support netstandard2.0 and netstandard2.1 where applicable.
  • We removed the collection of GC metrics over ETW on .NET Full Framework. The collection over ETW requires elevated privileges, especially in IIS deployments. This runs counter to best practices. Since these are currently not displayed in the APM UI, while technically breaking, the impact should be minimal. The GC metric collection on modern .NET platforms is not impacted.

Breaking changes

  • #2027 Remove unsupported TFM’s

Breaking changes
edit

We have some breaking changes in this release. We wanted to do these changes prior to our GA release and with this we hopefully avoid breaking changes in the upcoming versions.

  • For better naming we replaced the Elastic.Apm.All packages with Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll #371
  • Based on feedback we also renamed the UseElasticApm() method in the Elastic.Apm.NetCoreAll package to UseAllElasticApm - this method turns on every component of the Agent for ASP.NET Core. #371
  • Our logger abstraction, specifically the IApmLogger interface changed: #389
  • To follow the Elastic Common Schema (ECS), we renamed our Tags properties to Labels. #416
