2.1.31 "Irati" - Jun 28, 2022

Windows:

• Update base Python interpreter for Windows MSI package from 3.8 to 3.10.
• Upgrade various bundled dependencies (pywin32, orjson, urllib3, six).

Bug fixes:

• Fix a regression introduced in v2.1.29 which would cause the agent to inadvertently skip connectivity check on startup.
• Default value for check_remote_if_no_tty config option is False. Previously the changelog entry incorrectly stated it defaults to True. This means that a connectivity check is not performed on startup if tty is not available.
• Fix a bug in syslog monitor on Windows under Python 3 which would prevent TCP handler from working.
• Fixed agent checkpoint selection bug that could cause old log files to be re-uploaded.
• Small bug with command line argument parsing for the Agent. Agent raised unhandled exception instead of normal argparse error message when agent main command wasn't specified.
• Fix a bug in the Agent's custom JSON parser, which did not raise error on unexpected ending of the JSON document which might be caused by a JSON syntax error.

Docker images:

• Upgrade orjson dependency

Other:

• Monitor emit_value() method now correctly sanitizes / escapes metric field names which are "reserved" (logfile, metric, value, serverHost, instance, severity). This is done to prevent possible collisions with special / reserved metric event attribute names which could cause issues with some queries. Metric field names which are escaped get added _ suffix (e.g. metric becomes metric_).
• Upgrade dependency requests library to 2.25.1.
