DataDog DataDog Update Version 7.78.2

Datadog Agent 7.78.2 was released on 2026-04-29. It adds a new `datadog-agent otel` command, deprecates `Install-Datadog.ps1`, and fixes signature validation plus network path collector filter handling.

• Improves signature validation in Install-Datadog.ps1 by accepting formatting variations in the CN field.

• Fixes Install-Datadog.ps1 signature checks to better handle CN formatting variations.
• Fixes user-defined network_path.collector.filters being dropped when infrastructure_mode is set to end_user_device; custom filters are now appended to the built-in EUDM defaults.

• Adds datadog-agent otel command to install or remove DDOT from an OCI package.

• The Install-Datadog.ps1 PowerShell script is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
• Use datadog-installer.exe or the MSI installer instead; the in-app installation guide has the current instructions.
• The release notes refer to the 7.78.2 tag on integrations-core for Core Checks changes.
• Datadog Cluster Agent is pinned to datadog-agent v7.78.2.
