What’s in this release
- New drainprocessor component added to the contrib distribution (tracked in issue/PR #47235).
- The same drainprocessor added to the Kubernetes (k8s) distribution (also via #47235); k8s operators should check for packaging or deployment notes.
- Contrib and core changelogs updated with component-level changes, configuration examples and documentation links.
Upgrade notes
- No explicit breaking changes are listed in the release notes; review the contrib and core changelogs for migration notes and any configuration changes before enabling the drainprocessor in production.
- Test the new component in a staging environment and validate behaviour before rolling out to production; if problems occur, revert to a previously tested Collector version.
Share your experience with the drainprocessor and any deployment notes on the project’s GitHub or community channels so others can learn from your testing.
