7.69.0

Agent

Prelude

Release on: 2025-08-14

• Please refer to the 7.69.0 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Upgrade Notes

• The cilium conntracker is now enabled by default in the system-probe, and now expects the /sys/fs/bpf to be mounted at /host/sys/fs/bpf in containerized environments. The conntracker, if enabled, will fail to load unless this mount is provided, with the log line "not loading cilium conntracker since cilium maps are not present" in system-probe's log file. Users who have enabled this feature can either upgrade to the latest helm chart or add this mount to their container

New Features

• Adds additional information and data related to the setsockopt hook.
  • Socket Information:
    • Socket type
    • Socket family
    • Socket protocol
  • Filter Information
    • Disassembled filter
    • Filter hash
• You can now set the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS that JMXFetch uses by setting the jmx_java_tool_options configuration option in the datadog.yaml config file. This allows you to pass additional JVM options to JMXFetch, such as memory settings or system properties.
• Adding a TracerPayloadModifier to the Trace Agent.
• pkg/trace/api: Container tags hash is returned as a response header of the info endpoint.
• Added new config option include_ephemeral_containers to collect Kubernetes ephemeral containers. The option is disabled by default. When enabled, the Agent will report container.* and kubernetes.* metrics for ephemeral containers. It will also collect logs and schedule checks for ephemeral containers when configured to do so.
• Data Streams Monitoring: Adds new feature allowing users to retrieve messages from Kafka topics.
• Change collect_gpu_tags config flag to be enabled by default. Now the Agent collects an additional gpu_host host tag for all hosts that have Nvidia GPUs.
• Added new processing rule to omit truncated logs from being sent to ingest
• GPU: Add GPM collector for Hopper and newer NVIDIA GPUs
• Adds VPN tunnels and route table data collection to SNMP. This can be enabled/disabled using the collect_vpn config.
• The NTP check on Windows now discovers the primary domain controller (PDC) on domain-joined hosts when use_local_defined_servers is enabled. If the PDC is unavailable, it automatically falls back to registry-defined servers. Check now performs order-insensitive server list comparisons, reduces log noise, and avoids using itself as a time source when running on a domain controller.
• [Preview] The agent can now connect to the AWS SSM, AWS Secrets, Hashicorp Vault and Azure Keyvault secret management solutions to resolve secrets without requiring a user provided binary. For this, two new settings are introduced: secret_backend_type and secret_backend_config. For more information see: https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/configuration/secrets-management
• Added support in DDOT for the datadogexporter.proxy_url configuration option. This allows users to specify proxy settings for DDOT with the collector configuration.
• Windows: Add CRL monitoring to the Windows Certificate Store integration.

Enhancement Notes

• The serverless-init build uses the new TracerPayloadModifier to add Function Tags to the _dd.tags.function tag of the Tracer Payload to support serverless trace tagging.
• Agents are now built with Go 1.24.5.
• The user is now able to specify which features they want enabled inside of the converter. Previously, the user would have to either enable or disable everything.
• DDOT now uses zstd compression for logs by default.
• If a check has both a Go and a Python version, the Go version now has priority by default. This change should not have any visible impact, but if needed, you can disable this configuration by setting prioritize_go_check_loader to false.
• GPUM: the "status" command now returns status of the system-probe part of GPU monitoring
• Added new DogStatsD configuration option "dogstatsd_flush_incomplete_buckets". When enabled, DogStatsD will flush all received metrics during shutdown, regardless of which time-interval based bucket they belong to.
• Agent integration metadata payloads now include the JMX integrations.
• Allow users to configure the HTTP timeout for the Logs Agent.
• No longer have the Logs Agent fall back to TCP when configuring logs_config.logs_dd_url with a http(s):// prefix.
• If the Oracle can_connect check is critical, also set the can_query check to critical.
• Display the number of times each log processor has been used in the Logs Agent status endpoint.
• Reduce binary size by removing the Sensitive Data Scanner (SDS) from the logs agent.
• OTLP spans support db.namespace semantic and map to db.name for DBM support.
• Generate a more detailed warning when the Logs Agent tailer limit is reached.
• Improved the granularity of the Logs Agent pipeline monitor to track the capacity of each individual component of the pipeline.
• Remote Agent management operations on Windows now attempt to force stop the Agent services if they do not respond to Service Control Manager requests.
• Remote Agent management on Windows now automatically retries when the MSI returns error 1618 (ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING).

Bug Fixes

• Correctly respect the ecs_collect_resource_tags_ec2 variable when calling the ECS Agent. Start caching tags to reduce burden on the ECS Agent. Start logging error responses from the ECS agent.
• Fix a panic in Docker streams log parsing when stream messages are truncated on transmission.
• Fix the cgroup reader bug that would prevent the generic container check from sending metrics when the Agent encountered a permission error.
• Fixes invalid logs compression error in DDOT, sets DDOT logs compression to gzip.
• Add support for selecting the endpoint resolution method using advanced AD identifiers in Kubernetes endpoint check configurations defined in files or configmaps. This enables static pod check configurations to correctly resolve the endpoint by setting resolve method to "ip".
• Fixed the serializer exporter for the OSS Collector, which was not setting the correct proxy variables when sending metric data.
• Fixed Windows installer overwriting install_info from setup scripts. When using Fleet Automation setup scripts, the subsequent MSI installation now skips writing install_info via a new SKIP_INSTALL_INFO flag, preserving the original setup script installation method tracking.
• Fix Jetson check to correctly parse the output of tegrastats for Orin boards.
• Fix incorrect container.memory.kernel value when running with Kernel >= 5.19 and cgroupv2
• Breaking change - Fixes the Oracle service name tag to be service_name instead of service. This corrects the conflict with the APM service tag. This is a breaking change for any users who had been relying on the service tag to be set to the Oracle service name. The service tag can still be set explicitly in the tags configuration if needed.
• Metrics sent from the process check on the core agent now have the host tag.
• GPU: fix a bug where the device assigned to a process could be wrong if it updates the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable during runtime
• GPUM: fix Kubernetes device allocation detection in Google Kubernetes Engine
• The NTP check will no longer fail to start if the initial discovery of local NTP servers fails at agent startup.
• Limit the HTTP timeout on startup to 5 seconds for the Logs Agent.
• Prevent the process component from running in the cluster worker.
• Removes an extra copy of agent.exe from the Windows container
• Remote Agent management operations on Windows now attempt to restart the Agent services after failing to stop the services or uninstall the Agent.
• Fix Cgroup namespace not properly detected in Workload Protection, leading to incorrect container ID resolution and misqualified detections.

Other Notes

• Add a new metric to the Agent telemetry for the startup and running states. This will help us track the startup and running states of the Agent.
• Transparent Huge Pages (THP) usage is now disabled by default in the System Probe and Security Agent. To re-enable their usage, set the system_probe_config.disable_thp or security_agent.disable_thp configuration options to false.

Enhancement Notes

• The auto-instrumentation webhook supports labels and annotations as tags configuration. If any of the label or annotation mappings for the incoming pod correspond to Universal Service Tags (service, env, or version), the webhook will also add the corresponding UST environment variable to the pod (DD_SERVICE, DD_ENV, or `DD...

7.68.3

Agent

Prelude

Release on: 2025-07-28

• Please refer to the 7.68.3 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Upgrade Notes

• Upgraded JMXFetch to 0.49.9 <https://github.com/DataDog/jmxfetch/releases/0.49.9> which reverts a change that broke support for Java 7. See 0.49.9 <https://github.com/DataDog/jmxfetch/releases/tag/0.49.9> for more details.

Enhancement Notes

• Agents are now built with Go 1.24.5.

Bug Fixes

• The Agent MSI no longer fails when it is unable to read the version information from [MsiGetProductInfo](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/msi/nf-msi-msigetproductinfow).

  When upgrading from an Agent version earlier than 7.56, a failure in MsiGetProductInfo, combined with an MSI rollback, may result in missing system drivers. If this occurs, repairing or reinstalling the Agent will restore the missing drivers. This issue is typically caused by a corrupted Windows Installer registry. To repair these issues, refer to the [Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-cca7d1b6-65a9-3d98-426b-e9f927e1eb4d).

7.68.0

Agent

Prelude

Release on: 2025-07-10

• Please refer to the 7.68.0 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Upgrade Notes

• Bump the Python version to 3.12.11
• Change how attribute precedence is handled. All fields are now evaluated across both span and resource attributes, using the following order of precedence (from highest to lowest):
  • datadog.* span attributes
  • datadog.* resource attributes
  • standard span attributes
  • standard resource attributes

New Features

• Add a port of the Windows integrations-core Python network check to Go. This version is disabled by default but can be enabled with use_networkv2_check in your configuration.
• Add support for Autodiscovery for RDS Postgres and MySQL databases.
• Windows: Add remote certificate collection for the Windows Certificate Store integration.
• Add a System Probe module that will collect software inventory data from the host.
• Added logs.truncated and associated aggregate tags into /comp/core/agenttelemetry/impl/config.go
• Workload protection (CWS) can now generate events based on the setsockopt syscall
• Added a new logs.truncated metric to the Agent that reports the number of logs truncated before being sent. This metric helps monitor log volume loss due to truncation and is tagged by service and source for better visibility.

Enhancement Notes

• The agent configcheck --verbose command and flares now include a section that lists all collected configurations, both matched and unmatched. This addition aids debugging by revealing which configurations the Agent has detected.
• Adds in newly supported ap2.datadoghq.com site to the MSI's GUI menu.
• Individual integrations can now set their own auto multiline configurations, including adding custom samples for logs specific to that integration.
• Allows RDS autodicovery to work with an empty tag list. If an empty tag list is provided, the autodiscovery will not filter instances based on tags, allowing all RDS instances to be discovered.
• OpenTelemetry instrumentation scope attributes are now converted into log attributes.
• Introduce a new sample configuration file, application_monitoring.yaml, to support the Hands Off config feature. This file is automatically placed under /etc/datadog-agent/ on Linux systems only. Users can manually edit the file to apply application monitoring configurations.
• Agents are now built with Go 1.24.4.
• ecs_cluster_name is added as a global tag when running on EC2.
• Improve the memory efficiency of obfuscator key generation.
• In OTLP metrics ingestion, the instrumentation_scope_metadata_as_tags option is now enabled by default. This means scope attributes are now added as tags to metrics. If you have too many unique values for instrumentation scope attributes, this may cause cardinality issues. To mitigate this, you can disable the behavior by setting datadog.metrics.instrumentation_scope_metadata_as_tags to false.
• Orchestrator manifests will now be published with all tags present in their metadata counterparts.
• Single Step Instrumentation now uses the Python tracer major version 3 by default.
• Refactor the logs-agent auditor to utilize a more testable architecture.
• Add Kind, ApiVersion, and NodeName to manifests. Add HostName to CollectorManifest.
• Sensitive text from custom resources is now scrubbed from the manifest. If a field is sensitive, all values within that field are automatically redacted, ensuring that sensitive data is not exposed even in nested structures.
• Update registry writer to not write atomically when Agent runs on ECS Fargate to reduce memory leak.
• Updated Windows container image labels to align with Linux image labels for better OCI compliance. Added standard Open Container Initiative (OCI) labels including image source, revision, and version information.

Bug Fixes

• APM: Fix an issue where the trace-agent could panic during shutdown trying to obfuscate a SQL payload.
• APM: Fix an issue where trace-agent could panic with "send on closed channel" during shutdown.
• Prevent Logs Agent registry entries from being removed prematurely when the log source is still active.
• Fixed TCP retransmit counts by excluding TCP keep-alive packets. Also fixed potential IRQL corruption and memory corruption related to IPv6 filters.
• APM: Reduce the log level of APM Traces Received log message to debug. These values are available via metrics so this log is mostly just noisy.
• Factor dependent services into the timeout when stopping the Agent service on Windows. Operations such as the stop-service Agent subcommand and remote updates now wait longer for the Agent and its subservices to stop before reporting an error.
• Fixed debug log message for detected locally defined servers in NTP check.
• Fixes a panic in the checks collector that occasionally occurs when the Agent is shutting down.
• Fixes Python integrations not being persisted after Agent uninstall. Enables persisting integration during fleet updates.
• Fixes multiline stacktraces being split up into separate logs when serverless-init is installed in-process.
• Windows Agent remote updates now submit the remote config task state to the backend. This reduces the time it takes for a remote update to complete.
• Windows Agent installer now uses absolute path to msiexec.exe instead of PATH lookup, improving installation reliability
• Fixes telemetry reporting in the Agent Install Script for Windows PowerShell on hosts using PowerShell version less than 6 and without Internet Explorer installed, such as on a Server Core installation.
• The Datadog Installer service on Windows is now set to manual start. This prevents alerts from tools that monitor automatically started services, such as the Windows Server Manager Dashboard.
• Fix a bug that resulted in some Orchestrator Kubernetes manifests losing the configured "extraTags".
• Fix how the Live Process and Live Containers sets the hostname when running in an Agent that is running in AWS Fargate
• Applies SQL obfuscation logic to OpenTelemetry db semantics. Specifically, db.statement and db.query.text values will be obfuscated along with resource name and sql.query, according to obfuscation settings in the Agent config: https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/blob/1768f80e3f14d0d300b1276ae23ec7c8237dde4c/pkg/config/config_template.yaml#L1226-L1364
• Ensure serverless deployments send logs with gzip compression.
• Fix a rare panic that can occur when a log is unable to be written to a TCP-based unreliable endpoint.
• Fixed a bug where the system.cpu.num_cores metric could be incorrect on certain Windows platforms.
• Fixed Windows container image metadata to properly include build timestamps and version information.

Other Notes

• Add Origins for DuckDB, Keda and Supabase
• Add metric origins for the Windows Certificate Store integration.
• Add metric origins for new integrations.
• SystemD units are now written by .deb and .rpm package scripts during the installation process. They were previously part of the package archive. We do not expect this change to affect users.

Datadog Cluster Agent

Prelude

Released on: 2025-07-10 Pinned to datadog-agent v7.68.0: CHANGELOG.

New Features

• The admission controller can now enable kubelet API logging in the injected agent sidecar.

Enhancement Notes

• Added a new metric to expose the ksm kube_cronjob_status_last_successful_time metric. The name of the metric is kubernetes_state.cronjob.duration_since_last_successful.
• Single Step Instrumentation now uses the Python tracer major version 3 by default.

Bug Fixes

• Stop sending telemetry associated with a DatadogMetric when the object is deleted.
• Fix a bug in the Kubernetes State Metrics (KSM) check where custom resource metrics were incorrectly named using the kubernetes_state.customresource.<name> pattern instead of the intended kubernetes_state_customresource.<prefix>_<name> format.
• Fixes a bug in the admission controller webhook that caused volume mounts to be skipped when other webhooks injected init containers after our own volume mounts had been added.
• Properly take into account the timeZone field of the CronJob objects in the kubernetes_state.cronjob.on_schedule_check service check.

7.67.1

Agent

Prelude

Release on: 2025-07-02

• Please refer to the 7.67.1 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Enhancement Notes

• Agents are now built with Go 1.23.10.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes invalid logs compression error in DDOT, sets DDOT logs compression to gzip.

• Permissions are no longer applied recursively to the Datadog installer data directory on Windows.

  This fixes an issue that causes Agent updates to restrict access to the .NET APM tracer libraries that were previously installed by the DD_APM_INSTRUMENTATION_LIBRARIES option, preventing them from being loaded by IIS.

• Fixes an issue in Install-Datadog.ps1 that could malform datadog.yaml and cause the Agent to fail to start. When datadog.yaml does not end with a new line the remote_updates option was incorrectly appended to the last line in the file instead of to a new line.
