CLR Tracer releases

Instana CLR Tracer provides automated code instrumentation and tracing data across your environment. For more information, see Monitoring .NET Framework.

1.290.2

CLR Tracer 1.290.2 is released on 20 February 2025.

Features

When you set the INSTANA_NET_ENABLE_MULTIDOMAIN environment variable to true, the CLR Tracer now adds instrumentation support for the main application domain within .NET Full Framework multi domain applications.

Improvements

This release updates support for the following libraries and frameworks:

  • ServiceStack.Redis 8.6.0
  • Microsoft.Aspnetcore 2.3.0

1.289.2

CLR Tracer 1.289.2 is released on 4 February 2025.

Improvements

This release adds the following improvements:

  • Updates support for the following libraries and frameworks:

    • ServiceStack.Redis 8.5.2
    • MongoDB.Driver 3.1.0
    • log4net 3.0.0
    • RabbitMQ.Client 7.0.0

  • Adds HTTP status code in WCF span

Fixes

Previously, if the tracer detected a multi-domain setup, instrumentation was automatically disabled. To provide more flexibility, a new environment variable, INSTANA_NET_ENABLE_MULTIDOMAIN is introduced. If you set this variable to true, only then the tracer checks for multi-domain setup and auto disable instrumentation for multi-domain environment. However, if it is not set or set to false, the tracer does not check for multi-domain setup and instrumentation remains enabled.
