Bug Details

Pinpoint Agent

  • Started to collect Direct/Mapped Buffer Metric buffer 2

  • Started to collect Open File Descriptor Metric fd 1

  • Option to group agents running in containers -Dpinpoint.container jvm argument added for grouping container applications with variable host names in the UI.

    pinpoint_container_ss

    Passing -Dpinpoint.container or -Dpinpoint.container=true as a jvm argument will group the agent under Container instead of it’s hostname in the Inspector view. This may help cases where the agent list would get polluted with too many hostname groupings as agents running in containers may have different hostnames everytime they are deployed and new containers are created.

  • Resolved hostname retrieval triggering possible DNS lookups #4427
