Agent

Prelude

Release on: 2024-11-07

• Please refer to the 7.59.0 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Upgrade Notes

• Removed the deprecated config option otlp_config.debug.loglevel in favor of otlp_config.debug.verbosity:
  • loglevel: debug maps to verbosity: detailed
  • loglevel: info maps to verbosity: normal
  • loglevel: warn/error maps to verbosity: basic
  • loglevel: disabled maps to verbosity: none

New Features

• Add ability to run process/container collection on the core Agent (Linux only). This is controlled by the process_config.run_in_core_agent.enabled option in datadog.yaml.
• DBM: Add configuration options to SQL obfuscator to customize the obfuscation of SQL statements:
  • KeepJSONPath - option to control whether JSON paths following JSON operators in SQL statements should be obfuscated. This option is only valid when ObfuscationMode is obfuscate_and_normalize.
• APM: Add new 'sqllexer' feature flag for the Trace Agent, which enables the sqllexer imprementation of the SQL Obfuscator.
• Introduce new Kubernetes tag gpu_vendor for the GPU resource requested by a container.

Enhancement Notes

• Added additional Agent telemetry metrics for the log tailer code flow: logs.bytes_sent, logs.encoded_bytes_sent, and logs.bytes_missed

• Datadog may collect environmental, performance, and feature usage information about the Datadog Agent. This may include diagnostic logs and crash dumps of the Datadog Agent with obfuscated stack traces to support and further improve the Datadog Agent.

• APM: Updates peer tags for peer.db.system.

• Agents are now built with Go 1.22.7.

• Agents are now built with Go 1.22.8.

• Agents are now built with Go 1.22.8.

• While using the AWS Lambda Extension, when a Lambda Function is invoked by a [properly instrumented][1] Step Function, the Lambda Function will create its Trace and Parent IDs deterministically based on the Step Function's execution context.

• Updates default .NET library used for auto-instrumentation from v2 to v3

• The system-probe selinux policy is now installed on Oracle Linux

• Increases the default input channel, processing channel, and context store sizes for network traffic paths.

• Adds support for file log collection from Podman rootless containers when logs_config.use_podman_logs is set to true and podman_db_path is configured.

• Allow Python integrations to emit Agent telemetry data.

Security Notes

• Update OpenSSL to 3.3.2 (on Linux & macOS) in order to mitigate CVE-2024-6119.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes the default configuration template to include the Cloud Security Management configuration options.
• Fixing a bug introduced in 7.55 where in some specific scenarios, checks associated with a deleted container or POD would keep running until the Agent is restarted.
• Fix the forwarder health check so that it reports unhealthy when the API key is invalid.
• Fix the removal of 'non-core' integrations during Agent upgrades.
• Fix Process Agent argument scrubbing to allow scrubbing of quoted arguments.
• Fix Orchestrator argument scrubbing to allow scrubbing of quoted arguments.
• Fixes an issue where TCP traceroute latency was not being calculated correctly.
• Fixes the telemetry type for Oracle metrics.
• APM: Fix obfuscation of SQL queries containing non-numeric prepared statement variables.

Other Notes

• Adds Postgres integration metrics to cross-org telemetry whitelist.
• The Agent is now built with a custom toolchain that targets our minimally supported glibc version (2.17 on x86_64 and 2.23 on aarch64)
• On Windows, the TCP socket transport mechanism for system probe communications has been replaced with a named pipe. This deprecates the system_probe_config.sysprobe_socket configuration entry for Windows. The new fixed named pipe path is \pipedd_system_probe.
