Upgrading

⚠️ THIS RELEASE HAS BREAKING CHANGES ⚠️

Read the migration guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.

Notable changes:

This release includes support for writing exemplars over remote_write. Note that the remote_write system must support receiving and querying exemplars for exemplars to work end-to-end. Thanks to @mapno for implementing this!

The full list of changes can be found in the CHANGELOG.

Installation:

Grafana Agent is currently distributed in plain binary form, Docker container images, and a Kubernetes install script. Choose whichever fits your use-case best.

Kubernetes Install Script

The following scripts will download and install two Kubernetes manifests for the Agent. The first manifest collects metrics, the second collects logs, and the final collects traces. You will be prompted for input for each manifest. The script requires curl and envsubst (GNU gettext).

NAMESPACE="default" /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.15.0/production/kubernetes/install.sh)" | kubectl apply -f -
NAMESPACE="default" /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.15.0/production/kubernetes/install-loki.sh)" | kubectl apply -f -
NAMESPACE="default" /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grafana/agent/v0.15.0/production/kubernetes/install-tempo.sh)" | kubectl apply -f -

Docker container:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/grafana/agent

docker pull "grafana/agent:v0.15.0"

agentctl

agentctl, a tool for helping you interact with the Agent, is available as a Docker image:

Or as a binary. Like before, choose the assets below that matches your operating system. For example, with linux on amd64:
