Agent

Prelude

Released on: 2026-09-09

• Please refer to the 7.83.1 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Bug Fixes

• Fix bug which made fast network path test billed to customer
• Release the containerd view snapshot and lease taken for a container image SBOM scan even when the scan is cancelled or times out. The release ran on the scan's own context, so a scan that hit its deadline left the snapshot behind, and on a lazy snapshotter that snapshot holds the layer it materialised.

Other Notes

• The fleet installer daemon now reports the DDOT (OpenTelemetry Collector) process state as part of the agent state sent to Datadog, so DDOT version and configuration updates can be monitored. The state is read from the process manager when it supervises DDOT, and from systemd or the Windows service manager otherwise. It is also visible in the output of datadog-installer status.
