Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent Release Notes
The Intelligence Cloud Agent is the prefered way to connect your Java Virtual Machine (JVM) with the Forwarder to send all the required data to your Intelligence Cloud instance. More information is available in Using the Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent.
Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent 1.2.0
Release date: May 19, 2026
The Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent 1.2.0, in combination with the Forwarder 2.0.0, introduces deduplication, which runs on your infrastructure before any data leaves your network. The Forwarder identifies duplicate events across JVMs within the same application environment and transmits only unique events to Azul Intelligence Cloud. You get complete, accurate data at a fraction of the transfer cost.
|
Note
|
This release is designed to work with Forwarder 2.0.0 for deduplication. Don’t use this version of the Agent in combination with Forwarder 1.x. |
What’s new
-
API v2 is enabled by default. The Agent now uses the v2 protocol by default. Deduplication is handled within the Forwarder. You don’t need to configure this on the Agent side.
-
Memory safeguards are disabled by default. The
protectAppResourcesoption (previouslymemorySafeguards) is nowfalseby default. To re-enable, addprotectAppResources=trueto the Agent arguments. See CRS Arguments for more information.
Bug fixes
-
Fixed a deadlock during initialization of the Agent when running alongside other Java agents (e.g., Datadog) that load classes concurrently at startup.
-
Fixed
ClassCircularityErrorin reference handling. -
Fixed an
AppEnvserialization issue. -
The Agent no longer sends stripped jar-loaded events when artifact upload has failed.
Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent 1.1.61
Release date: December 2, 2025
What’s New
-
General bug fixes and QOL improvements.
-
Logs generated by the agent, are now forwarded to Azul Intelligence Cloud by default. This can be disabled with the option
sendCRSLogs=false. OnlyERRORlogs are sent by default. See CRS Arguments for more information. -
A new CRS argument
memorySafeguards=<true/false>is available to let the agent recognizes that it competes for memory with the application. When this happens, it will proactively free its memory and terminate itself. This feature is enabled by default. See CRS Arguments for more information. -
To reduce the amount of data sent between JVMs, the Forwarder, and Azul Intelligence Cloud, the JVMs no longer send a continuous "heartbeat", but only the data needed for the reports in Intelligence Cloud.
Therefore, for the
fromandtofilters, you must consider when a JVM sent data to Intelligence Cloud, which may differ from how long the JVM has been running.
Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent 1.1.22
Release date: January 21, 2025
What’s New
-
General bug fixes and improvements.
-
With this release, the Agent can now also be configured with the CRS option
notifyFirstCallto report the first method invocations. See Diagnostic Configuration Options. -
The default temporary file system space is increased from 2MB up to 20MB for
maxJarFileCache, see Diagnostic Configuration Options. In this space, jar files are cached for analysis. Nested jars with a bigger size than this limit will not be reported to the backend. Make sure to update this value if you have such bigger nested jars.
Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent 1.0.0
Release date: March 18, 2024
Initial release of the Azul Intelligence Cloud Agent, an optional component that enables Intelligence Cloud functionality with older versions of Azul, as well as non-Azul JVMs.
