Update Summary

7.78.1 Agent and Datadog Cluster Agent release on 2026-04-23. It upgrades embedded Python to 3.13.13 and Go to 1.25.9, and fixes macOS package signing, SELinux policy loading on RHEL 7, manifest-less integrations, and a Cluster Agent APM injection issue.

Update Details

Security

  • Fix the system-probe SELinux policy module failing to load on RHEL 7 by compiling it against modular policy version 19, improving compatibility with supported RHEL releases.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix missing signature on macOS Agent packages.
  • Fix the system-probe SELinux policy module failing to load on RHEL 7.
  • Add logic to include integrations that do not have a manifest.json file in the Agent.
  • Add tasks/agent.py to the files used to compute the global omnibus cache.
  • Fix a Cluster Agent issue where container-targeted APM library injection could mount a tracing library into all application containers in a pod instead of only the annotated container.

Hints

  • The Agent's embedded Python was upgraded from 3.13.12 to 3.13.13.
  • Agents are now built with Go 1.25.9.
  • Refer to the 7.78.1 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks.
  • The Cluster Agent changelog is pinned to datadog-agent v7.78.1.
