Prelude

Release on: 2021-03-02

Upgrade Notes

  • forwarder_retry_queue_payloads_max_size takes precedence over the
    deprecated forwarder_retry_queue_max_size. If
    forwarder_retry_queue_max_size is not set, you are not affected by
    this change. If forwarder_retry_queue_max_size is set, but
    forwarder_retry_queue_payloads_max_size is not set, the Agent uses
    forwarder_retry_queue_max_size * 2MB as the value of
    forwarder_retry_queue_payloads_max_size. It is recommended to
    configure forwarder_retry_queue_payloads_max_size and remove
    forwarder_retry_queue_max_size from the Agent configuration.
  • Docker image: remove Docker volumes for /etc/datadog-agent and
    /tmp as it prevents to inherit from Datadog Agent image. It was
    originally done to allow read-only rootfs on Kubernetes, so in order
    to continue supporting this feature, relevant volumes are created in
    newer Kubernetes manifest or Helm chart >= 2.6.9

New Features

  • APM: Support SQL obfuscator feature to replace consecutive digits in
    table names.
  • APM: Add an endpoint to receive apm stats from tracers.
  • Agent discovers by itself which container AD features and checks
    should be scheduled without having to specify any configuration.
    This works for Docker, Containerd, ECS/EKS Fargate and Kubernetes.
    It also allows to support heterogeneous nodes with a single
    configuration (for instance a Kubernetes DaemonSet could cover nodes
    running Containerd and/or Docker - activating relevant configuration
    depending on node configuration). This feature is activated by
    default and can be de-activated by setting environment variable
    AUTCONFIG_FROM_ENVIRONMENT=false.
  • Adds a new agent command stream-logs to stream the logs being
    processed by the agent. This will help diagnose issues with log
    integrations.
  • Submit host tags with log events for a configurable time duration to
    avoid potential race conditions where some tags might not be
    available to all backend services on freshly provisioned instances.
  • Added no_proxy_nonexact_match as a configuration setting which
    allows non-exact URL and IP address matching. The new behavior uses
    the go http proxy function documented here
    https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/http/httpproxy#Config If the
    new behavior is disabled, a warning will be logged if a url or IP
    proxy behavior will change in the future.
  • The Quality of Service of pods is now collected and sent to the
    orchestration endpoint.
  • Runtime-security new command line allowing to trigger a process
    cache dump..
  • Support Prometheus Autodiscovery for Kubernetes Pods.
  • The core agent now exposes a gRPC API to expose tags to the other
    agents. The following settings are now introduced to allow each of
    the agents to use this API (they all default to false):
    • apm_config.remote_tagger
    • logs_config.remote_tagger
    • process_config.remote_tagger
  • New perf map usage metrics.
  • Add unofficial arm64 support to network tracer in system-probe.
  • system-probe: Add optional runtime compilation of eBPF programs.

Enhancement Notes

  • APM: Sublayer metrics (trace.<SPAN_NAME>.duration and
    derivatives) computation in agent can be disabled with feature flags
    disable_sublayer_spans, disable_sublayer_stats. Reach out to
    support with questions about this metric.
  • APM: Automatically activate non-local trafic (i.e. listening on
    0.0.0.0) for APM in containerized environment if no explicit setting
    is set (bind_host or apm_non_local_traffic)
  • APM: Add a tag allowing trace metrics from synthetic data to be
    aggregated independently.
  • Consider the task level resource limits if the container level
    resource limits aren't defined on ECS Fargate.
  • Use the default agent transport for host metadata calls. This allows
    usage of the config no_proxy setting for host metadata calls. By
    default cloud provider IPs are added to the transport's no_proxy
    list. Added config flag use_proxy_for_cloud_metadata to disable
    this behavior.
  • GOMAXPROCS is now set automatically to match the allocated CPU
    cgroup quota. GOMAXPROCS can now also be manually specified and
    overridden in millicore units. If no quota or GOMAXPROCS value is
    set it will default to the original behavior.
  • Added --flare flag to jmx (list|collect) commands to save check
    results to the agent logs directory. This enables flare to pick up
    jmx command results.
  • Kubernetes events are now tagged with kube_service,
    kube_daemon_set, kube_job and kube_cronjob. Note: Other object
    kinds are already supported (pod_name, kube_deployment,
    kube_replica_set).
  • Expose logs agent pipeline latency in the status page.
  • Individual DEB packages are now signed.
  • Docker container, when not running in a Kubernetes environment may
    now be tailed from their log file. The Agent must have read access
    to /var/lib/docker/containers and Docker containers must use the
    JSON logging driver. This new option can be activated using the new
    configuration flag logs_config.docker_container_use_file.
  • File tailing from a kubernetes pod annotation is now supported. Note
    that the file path is relative to the Agent and not the
    pod/container bearing the annotation.

Bug Fixes

  • APM: Group arrays of consecutive '?' identifiers
  • Fix agent panic when UDP port is busy and dogstatsd_so_rcvbuf is
    configured.
  • Fix a bug that prevents from reading the correct container resource
    limits on ECS Fargate.
  • Fix parsing of dogstatsd event strings that contained negative
    lengths for event title and/or event text length.
  • Fix sending duplicated kubernetes events.
  • Do not invoke the secret backend command (if configured) when the
    agent health command/agent container liveness probe is called.
  • Fix parsing of CLI options of the agent health command

Other Notes

  • Bump gstatus version from 1.0.4 to 1.0.5.
  • JMXFetch upgraded from
    0.41.0 to
    0.42.0
