This is release v0.33.0 of Grafana Agent.

Upgrading

Read the relevant upgrade guides for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions:

Notable changes:

Breaking changes

  • Support for 32-bit ARM builds is removed for the foreseeable future due to Go
    compiler issues. We will consider bringing back 32-bit ARM support once our Go
    compiler issues are resolved and 32-bit ARM builds are stable.

  • Agent Management: agent_management.api_url config field has been replaced by
    agent_management.host. The API path and version is now defined by the Agent.

  • Agent Management: agent_management.protocol config field now allows defining "http" and "https" explicitly. Previously, "http" was previously used for both, with the actual protocol used inferred from the api url, which led to confusion. When upgrading, make sure to set to "https" when replacing api_url with host.

  • Agent Management: agent_management.remote_config_cache_location config field has been replaced by
    agent_management.remote_configuration.cache_location.

  • Remove deprecated symbolic links to to /bin/agent* in Docker containers,
    as planned in v0.31.
