We’ve just released v2.16.1 to address a regression introduced in v2.16.0.
The performance data writers - ElasticsearchWriter, GraphiteWriter, GelfWriter, InfluxdbWriter, Influxdb2Writer, and OpenTsdbWriter - were reworked in v2.16.0. That rework introduced issues that, in some cases, caused incorrect behavior. We’re still digging into the root cause. In the meantime, v2.16.1 reverts those writers to their v2.15.3 state, which restores reliable behavior for everyone affected.
This release also includes a documentation update: the OTLPMetricsWriter for OpenTelemetry is not available on Debian 11, Ubuntu 22.04, or Amazon Linux 2 due to dependency version constraints.
If you’re on v2.16.0 and using any of the affected writers, we recommend updating.
As usual, the source code of this new version is available on GitHub, packages are from our package repositories, and new container images will soon be pushed to Docker Hub and the GitHub Container Registry.
