libinstana_init 1.5.0

libinstana_init 1.5.0 is released on 28 February 2024.

Features

The libinstana_init package now supports the NGINX Bitnami images.

Fixes

  • The issues with the backup function are fixed now. The libinstana_init package now correctly runs a backup of the original NGINX configuration before it instruments NGINX. The original configuration is saved in the /tmp/nginx-<random>.conf.bak file.
  • The regex that is used to parse the forward expressions of the NGINX location is fixed now. The location paths, such as location /app/subdir/api, are now correctly instrumented by the package.
