[BUG] Telemetry port (:5000) only exposed on localhost, not on 0.0.0.0 #29389

Agent Environment

  • Datadog Agent Version: gcr.io/datadoghq/agent:7.54.0-jmx
  • Relevant configuration: Using the Datadog Agent in a Kubernetes pod.

Describe what happened:
The Datadog agent does not expose the telemetry port (:5000) on 0.0.0.0, but only on localhost. This makes it impossible to scrape the telemetry metrics from outside the pod, which is a common requirement for monitoring setups in Kubernetes environments.

Describe what you expected:
The telemetry port (:5000) should be exposed on 0.0.0.0 so that it can be accessed externally from other pods or services for scraping.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Deploy the Datadog agent using the image gcr.io/datadoghq/agent:7.54.0-jmx in a Kubernetes pod.
  2. Attempt to scrape metrics from the telemetry port (:5000) from outside the pod.
  3. Notice that the telemetry port is only exposed on localhost, making it inaccessible externally.

Hi @arnavdugar-openai, thanks for opening an issue !

The telemetry endpoint is not made for users to query but rather for the agent itself it use (eg. from some agent checks, or when creating a flare), so this is not something currently supported. There are also security concerns when binding to 0.0.0.0...

What is your use case for scrapping the telemetry endpoint of the agent ?
