[tpaschalis]

This is release v0.23.0 of the Grafana Agent.

Upgrading

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

Notable changes:

This release is mainly focused around some enhancements:

• The Agent will now deduplicate exemplars and propagate them over remote_write by default.
• If you're using the intergrations-next feature flag, the extra_labels key now allows you to add a custom set of labels to integration targets.
• The new eventhandler integration allows users to watch for changes to Event objects in a Kubernetes cluster and ship them as log entries.

Additionally, some more bug fixes and enhancements are included in this release. Please check the CHANGELOG for the full list of details.
