Released on: 2022-04-12 Pinned to datadog-agent v7.35.0: CHANGELOG.
- Collect ResourceRequirements on other K8s workloads as well for live containers (Deployment, StatefulSet, ReplicaSet, DaemonSet)
- Enable collection of Roles/RoleBindings/ClusterRoles/ClusterRoleBindings/ServiceAccounts by default in the orchestrator check.
- Add
Ingresscollection in the orchestrator check.
- Fix a bug that prevents scrubbing sensitive content on the DaemonSet resource.
- Fix a bug that prevents scrubbing sensitive content on the StatefulSet resource.
- Adds a new histogram metric admission_webhooks_response_duration to monitor the admission-webhook's response time. The existing metric admission_webhooks_webhooks_received is now a counter.
- The cluster agent has an external metrics provider feature to allow using Datadog queries in Kubernetes HorizontalPodAutoscalers.
- It sometimes faces issues like:
2022-01-01 01:01:01 UTC | CLUSTER | ERROR | (pkg/util/kubernetes/autoscalers/datadogexternal.go:79 in queryDatadogExternal) | Error while executing metric query ... truncated... API returned error: Query timed out
To mitigate this problem, use the new
external_metrics_provider.chunk_sizeparameter to reduce the number of queries that are batched by the Agent and sent together to Datadog.
Released on: 2022-03-01 Pinned to datadog-agent v7.34.0: CHANGELOG.
- Add an
external_metrics_provider.endpointsparameter that allows to specify a list of external metrics provider endpoints.
If the first one fails, the DCA will query the next ones. - Support file-based endpoint checks. - Enable collection of PV/PVCs by default in the orchestrator check - File-based cluster checks support Autodiscovery.
- Fix the
Admission Controller/Webhooks infosection of the cluster agentagent statusoutput on Kubernetes 1.22+.
Although the cluster agent was able to register its webhook with both the v1beta1 and the v1 version of the Administrationregistration API, the agent status command was always using the v1beta1, which has been removed in Kubernetes 1.22.
- Improve error handling of deleted HPA objects.
- Fix an issue where scrubbing custom sensitive words would not work as intended for the orchestrator check.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent the Admission Controller from starting when the External Metrics Provider is enabled.
- Fix the caculation of orchestrator cache hits.
Released on: 2022-01-26 Pinned to datadog-agent v7.33.0: CHANGELOG.

StatefulSetcollection by default in the orchestrator check. - Add

DaemonSetcollection by default in the orchestrator check. AddStatefulSetcollection in the orchestrator check.
- The Cluster Agent's Admission Controller now uses the
admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1kubernetes API when available. - The Cluster Agent can be instructed to dispatch cluster checks without decrypting secrets. The node Agent or the cluster check runner will fetch the secrets after receiving the configurations from the Cluster Agent. This can be enabled by setting
DD_SECRET_BACKEND_SKIP_CHECKStotruein the Cluster Agent config. - The Cluster Agent's external metrics provider now serves an OpenAPI endpoint.
- Add the ability to change log_level at runtime. To set the log_level to
debugthe following command should be used:agent config set log_level debug. - Improve status and flare for the Cluster Check Runners.
- Show different orchestrator status collection information between follower and leader.
- Fix an edge case where the Admission Controller doesn't update the certificate according to the Cluster Agent configuration.

- Autodetect EC2 cluster name
- Decrease the Admission Controller timeout to avoid edge cases where high timeouts can cause ignoring the
failurePolicy(see kubernetes/kubernetes#71508). - The Cluster Agent's admission controller now requires the pod label
admission.datadoghq.com/enabled=trueto inject standard labels. This optimizes the number of mutation webhook requests.
Pinned to datadog-agent v7.28.0-rc.5
- The cluster-agent container now tries to remove any folder beginning by
..in paths of files mounted in/conf.dwhile copying them to the cluster-agent config folder - collect cluster resource for orchestrator explorer.

- It is now possible to configure a custom timeout for the MutatingWebhookConfigurations objects controlled by the Cluster Agent via DD_ADMISSION_CONTROLLER_TIMEOUT_SECONDS. (Default: 30 seconds)
- The Datadog Cluster Agent's Admission Controller now uses a namespaced secrets informer. It no longer needs permissions to watch secrets at the cluster scope.
- The cluster agent now uses the same configuration than the security agent for the logs endpoints configuration. The parameters (such as logs_dd_url can be either be specified in the compliance_config.endpoints section or through environment variables (such as DD_COMPLIANCE_CONFIG_ENDPOINTS_LOGS_DD_URL).
- Improve the resilience of the connection of controllers to the External Metrics Server by moving to a dynamic client for the WPA controller.
- Change base Docker image used to build the Cluster Agent imges, moving from debian:bullseye to ubuntu:20.10. In the future the Cluster Agent will follow Ubuntu stable versions.
- Fix a potential file descriptors leak.
- The Cluster Agent can now be configured to use tls 1.2 via DD_FORCE_TLS_12=true
- Fix "Error creating expvar server" error log when running the Datadog Cluster Agent CLI commands.
- Fix a bug preventing the "DD_ORCHESTRATOR_EXPLORER_ORCHESTRATOR_ADDITIONAL_ENDPOINTS" environment variable to be read.
Released on: 2021-03-02 Pinned to datadog-agent v7.26.0: CHANGELOG.
- Support Prometheus Autodiscovery for Kubernetes Services.
- Add external_metrics_provider.api_key and external_metrics_provider.app_key parameters overriding default api_key and app_key if set.
- Add a new external_metrics_provider.endpoint config in datadog-cluster.yaml and a DD_EXTERNAL_METRICS_PROVIDER_ENDPOINT environment variable to override the default Datadog API endpoint to query external metrics from, in place of the global DATADOG_HOST. It also makes the external metrics provider respect DD_SITE if DD_EXTERNAL_METRICS_PROVIDER_ENDPOINT is not set.

- Ensure that leader election runs if orchestrator_explorer and leader_election are enabled.
- Rename node role tag from "node_role" to "kube_node_role" in orchestrator_explorer collection.
