Security Notes

Bug Fixes

  • Windows: Fix CD-ROM drives being monitored by the disk check since Agent 7.73.0. The diskv2 check now uses the Windows GetDriveType() API to properly detect and exclude CD-ROM drives, matching the behavior of the previous Python disk check. This fixes false alerts on system.disk.in_use for CD-ROM drives with inserted media.
  • Fix a bug in the workload autoscaling controller where annotation-only edits (e.g. autoscaling.datadoghq.com/preview) on a locally-owned DatadogPodAutoscaler were not picked up until the next .spec change or cluster-agent restart, because the controller gated re-sync on .metadata.generation (which annotations do not bump). Toggling burstable mode via the preview annotation now takes effect on the next reconcile.
  • MacOS agent GUI app needs to ignore SIGPIPE to avoid process termination.
  • On macOS, preserve user customizations to system-probe.yaml across Agent upgrades.
  • Fixed a bug on Windows where the NPM TCP failure rate could exceed 100% and climb indefinitely.
