Release Summary

This release marks the first time we are including both the nrdot-collector-host and nrdot-collector-k8s distributions of the OpenTelemetry (otel) collector. At the same time we are also sunsetting the nr-otel-collector distribution which had its last release with 0.8.10. The nrdot-collector-k8s distribution will replace nr-otel-collector in the nr-k8s-otel-collector helm-chart.

Packages are distributed as github release assets and docker images are available via:

docker pull newrelic/nrdot-collector-host:0.8.11
docker pull newrelic/nrdot-collector-k8s:0.8.11

0.8.10

General

Important Note for Installation

• In preparation to publishing multiple distributions, this is the first release where git tags now follow semantic conventions, i.e. 0.8.10 vs nr-otel-collector-0.8.5. This shouldn't have any impact on end-users consuming artifacts from dedicated repos (docker, apt, yum) as they were already conforming to the conventions but clients fetching directly from github releases will need to take that into account.
