v0.28.1

[rfratto]

This is release v0.28.1 of the Grafana Agent.

This is a security release to update the base image of our Docker distributions to resolve the OpenSSL vulnerabilities CVE-2022-3602 and CVE-2022-3786. We do not believe Grafana Agent is impacted by these vulnerabilities, as it doesn't use OpenSSL in its code. However, we still updated the base image so it doesn't appear as an issue on image scanners.

Upgrading

Read the upgrade guide for specific instructions on upgrading from older versions.

Installation:

Grafana Agent is currently distributed in plain binary form, Docker container images, a Windows installer, and a Kubernetes install script. Choose whichever fits your use-case best.

Kubernetes

Install directions here.

Docker container:

• https://hub.docker.com/r/grafana/agent

docker pull "grafana/agent:v0.28.1"

Windows installer

The Windows installer is provided as a release asset for x64 machines.

Binary

We provide precompiled binary executables for the most common operating systems. Choose from the assets below for your matching operating system.

Note: ppc64le builds are currently considered secondary release targets and do not have the same level of support and testing as other platforms.

Example for the linux operating system on amd64:

# download the binary
curl -O -L "https://github.com/grafana/agent/releases/download/v0.28.1/agent-linux-amd64.zip"

# extract the binary
unzip "agent-linux-amd64.zip"

# make sure it is executable
chmod a+x "agent-linux-amd64"

agentctl

agentctl, a tool for helping you interact with the Agent, is available as a Docker image:

docker pull "grafana/agentctl:v0.28.1"

Or as a binary. Like before, choose the assets below that matches your operating system. For example, with linux on amd64:

# download the binary
curl -O -L "https://github.com/grafana/agent/releases/download/v0.28.1/agentctl-linux-amd64.zip"

# extract the binary
unzip "agentctl-linux-amd64.zip"

# make sure it is executable
chmod a+x "agentctl-linux-amd64"

agent-operator

agent-operator, a Kubernetes Operator for the Grafana Agent, is available only as a Docker image:

docker pull "grafana/agent-operator:v0.28.1"
