Release Notes - Version 1.0.5

New Relic Log4j2 Appender

New Features

  • Configurable Retry Mechanism: Introduced a new configuration parameter maxRetries, allowing users to specify the maximum number of retry attempts for sending logs.

    • Log Failure Management: If logs cannot be sent successfully within the specified retries, they will be discarded. This provides greater control over log failure management.

  • Optimized Log Sending: Enhanced the appender to manage retry attempts more effectively by utilizing the configured flushInterval before retrying after a failure.

    • Network Efficiency: This optimization prevents excessive send attempts and reduces potential strain on the network and endpoint.

  • Seamless Recovery: Improved the appender's ability to reset the retry counter once the connection to the endpoint is restored and logs are sent successfully.

    • Normal Operations: Allows the appender to resume normal operations, immediately flushing logs when the batch size is reached, ensuring timely log delivery.

  • Handling New Messages After Retry Exhaustion: Enhanced the appender to ensure that if the queue is cleared due to retry exhaustion, new messages will be added and processed with a fresh retry cycle.

    • Continued Log Delivery: Each new message will be attempted up to the maxRetries limit, ensuring continued log delivery efforts.

  • Connection Timeout Configuration: Introduced a new configuration parameter timeout to specify the connection timeout for HTTP requests to New Relic's logging service.

    • Default Timeout: Set to 30 seconds (30000 milliseconds), this parameter helps manage network conditions and server response times.
