Release Notes

7.60.0

Prelude

Release on: 2024-12-16

Please refer to the 7.60.0 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks

Upgrade Notes

- Parameter peer_tags_aggregation (a.k.a. environment variable DD_APM_PEER_TAGS_AGGREGATION) is now enabled by default. This means that aggregation of peer related tags (e.g., peer.service, db.instance, etc.) now happens in the Agent, which enables statistics for Inferred Entities. If you want to disable this feature, set peer_tags_aggregation to false in your Agent configuration.
- Parameter compute_stats_by_span_kind (a.k.a. environment variable DD_APM_COMPUTE_STATS_BY_SPAN_KIND) is now enabled by default. This means spans with an eligible span.kind will have stats computed. If disabled, only top-level and measured spans will have stats computed. If you want to disable this feature, set compute_stats_by_span_kind to false in your Agent configuration.
 
 Note: When using peer_tags_aggregation and compute_stats_by_span_kind, a high cardinality of peer tags or APM resources can contribute to higher CPU and memory consumption. If enabling both causes the Agent to consume too many resources, try disabling compute_stats_by_span_kind first.
It is recommended that you update your tracing libraries according to the instructions here and set DD_TRACE_REMOVE_INTEGRATION_SERVICE_NAMES_ENABLED (or dd.trace.remove.integration-service-names.enabled) to true.
Upgraded JMXFetch to 0.49.5 which adds support for UnloadedClassCount metric and IBM J9 gc metrics. See 0.49.5 for more details.

New Features

Inferred Service dependencies are now Generally Available (exiting Beta) and enabled by default. Inferred Services of all kinds now have trace metrics and are available in dependency maps. apm_config.peer_tags_aggregation and apm_config.compute_stats_by_span_kind both now default to true unless explicitly set to false.
Add check_tag_cardinality parameter config check.

By default check_tag_cardinality is not set which doesn't change the behavior of the checks. Once it is set in pod annotaions, it overrides the cardinality value provided in the base agent configuration. Example of usage:

ad.datadoghq.com/redis.checks: |
   {
     "redisdb": {
       "check_tag_cardinality": "high",
        "instances": [
         {
           "host": "%%host%%",
           "port": "6379"
         }
       ]
     }
   }

Added a new feature flag enable_receive_resource_spans_v2 in DD_APM_FEATURES that gates a refactored implementation of ReceiveResourceSpans for OTLP.

Enhancement Notes

Added information about where the Agent sourced BTF data for eBPF to the Agent flare. When applicable, this will appear in system-probe/ebpf_btf_loader.log.
The Agent flare now returns NAT debug information from conntrack in the system-probe directory.
The flare subcommand includes a --provider-timeout option to set a timeout for each file collection (default is 10s), useful for unblocking slow flare creation.
This change reduces the number of DNS queries made by Network Traffic based paths in Network Path. A cache of reverse DNS lookups is used to reduce the number of DNS queries. Additionally, reverse DNS lookups are now performed only for private IPs and not for public IPs.
Agent flare now includes system-probe telemetry data via system-probe/system_probe_telemetry.log.
The MSI installer uses 7zr.exe to decompress the embedded Python.
On Windows, the endpoint /windows_crash_detection/check has been modified to report crashes in an asynchronous manner, to allow processing of large crash dumps without blocking or timing out. The first check will return a busy status and continue to do so until the processing is completed.

Deprecation Notes

Prebuilt eBPF for the network tracer system-probe module has been deprecated in favor of CO-RE and runtime compilation variants on Linux kernel versions 6+ and RHEL kernel versions 5.14+. To continue to use the prebuilt eBPF network tracer, set system_probe_config.allow_prebuilt_fallback in the system-probe config file, or set the environment variable DD_ALLOW_PREBUILT_FALLBACK, to true on these platforms.
The feature flag service_monitoring_config.enable_http_stats_by_status_code was deprecated and removed. No impact on USM's behavior.

Bug Fixes

Fixes an issue added in 7.50 that causes the Windows event log tailer to drop events if it cannot open their publisher metadata.
Fix a bug in the config parser that broke ignored_ip_addresses from working in NDM Autodiscovery.
Fixes host tags with a configurable duration so the metric's context hash doesn't change, preventing the aggregator from mistaking it as a new metric.
Fix could not parse voltage fields error in Nvidia Jetson integration when tegrastats output contains mW units.
Fix building of Python extension containing native code.
[oracle] Fix broken activity sampling with an external Oracle client.
Fix nil pointer error on Oracle DBM query when the check's connection is lost before SELECT statement executes.
Fix a regression that caused the Agent to not be able to run if its capabilities had been modified with the setcap command.
Fix bug wherein single line truncated logs ended with whitespace characters were not being tagged as truncated. Fix issue with the truncation message occasionally causing subsequent logs to think they were truncated when they were not (single line logs only).

Release Notes

7.60.0

Prelude

Released on: 2024-12-16 Pinned to datadog-agent v7.60.0: CHANGELOG.

Bug Fixes

Fixes bug where incorrect timestamp would be used for unbundled Kubernetes events.
Fixed an issue in the KSM check when it's configured with the option pod_collection_mode set to node_kubelet. Previously, the check could fail to start if there was a timeout while contacting the API server. This issue has now been resolved.
