.NET Agent	.NET Agent 21.5.0 release .NET Agent for Linux 21.5 incorporates significant architectural changes to accelerate the development of missing features in the Linux Agent relative to .NET Agent for Windows. These architectural changes do not affect .NET Agent for Windows (MSI and Microservices). Because .NET Agent for Linux 21.5 is a significant architectural update, some issues may arise despite extensive testing performed. If you experience any blocking issues, please open a high priority support ticket where AppDynamics will provide workarounds or alternate options. Generally, .NET Agent for Linux 21.5 maintains parity with existing features in .NET Agent for Linux < 21.5. However due to architectural updates, there are differences between .NET Agent for Linux >= 21.5 and .NET Agent for Linux < 21.5. Before you upgrade to .NET Agent for Linux 21.5, see Upgrade the .NET Agent for Linux. Enhancements: Sensitive data filters for Linux. See Filter Sensitive Data with the .NET Agent. Custom exit points for Linux. See Exit Point Detection Rules. Instrumentation configuration enhancements for: `classIgnore`, `typeMatch 'Signature'`, `'IsSubClass'` `list` and `regex for Linux`. ASP.NET instrumentation enhancements for Linux. See ASP.NET Core Instrumentation Options. Redis backend detection for IP address endpoint for all platforms. EUM for .NET Core for Linux. See Browser RUM Supported Environments. .NET extends support for `BasicPublish` and `BasicConsume` in the RabbitMQ client >= 6.0.0 for all platforms. .NET Agent supports SSL mutual authentication for Azure PaaS app services for Windows only. The download package options for .NET Agent on Linux have been updated. The ".NET Agent - 64-bit alpine-linux" package has been discontinued and is replaced with the ".NET Agent - 64-bit linux" package. .NET Agent supports custom trusted certificate validation for all .NET Core Linux and Windows.
