Grafana Agent

This is release v0.36.1 of Grafana Agent.

Upgrading

Read the relevant upgrade guides for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions:

• Static mode upgrade guide
• Static mode Kubernetes operator upgrade guide
• Flow mode upgrade guide

Notable changes:

• Restart managed components of a module loader only on if module content changes or the last load failed. This was specifically impacting module.git each time it pulls. (@erikbaranowski)
• Allow overriding default User-Agent for http.remote component (@hainenber)
• Fix panic when running grafana-agentctl config-check against config files having integrations block (both V1 and V2). (@hainenber)
• Fix a deadlock candidate in the loki.process component. (@tpaschalis)
• Fix an issue in the eventhandler integration where events would be double-logged: once by sending the event to Loki, and once by including the event in the Grafana Agent logs. Now, events are only ever sent to Loki. (@rfratto)
• Converters will now sanitize labels to valid River identifiers. (@erikbaranowski)
• Fix an issue in converters where targets of discovery.relabel components were repeating the first target for each source target instead of the correct target. (@erikbaranowski)
