Released on: 2026-09-16

Enhancement Notes

  • gpu: Constant metrics (gpu.device.total, gpu.memory.limit, gpu.core.limit, and gpu.memory.bar1.total) are reported on the cadence set by the new gpu.static_metrics_reporting_interval (15 seconds by default) to ensure accuracy when using weighted sums.
  • Single Step Instrumentation's tracer config mechanisms (the ddTraceConfigs Targets field, remote-config policies, and the admission.datadoghq.com/apm-inject.tracer-configs pod annotation) now also accept OTEL_ prefixed environment variable names, in addition to the existing DD_ prefix. This allows configuring a tracer's native OpenTelemetry mode (e.g. OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER, OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT) through SSI.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the Agent Data Plane pre-flight sending its metrics and API key to datadoghq.com instead of the configured site. The generated pre-flight configuration was built from the fully resolved Agent configuration, so dd_url's default value appeared in it as though it had been set explicitly, and an explicit dd_url takes precedence over site. The pre-flight configuration is now built from the settings the operator actually supplied, matching what a normally-supervised Agent Data Plane reads from datadog.yaml.
  • Fix DD_NETWORK_PATH_COLLECTOR_FILTERS so JSON-encoded Network Path collector filters are parsed and applied correctly.
