DataDog DataDog Update Version 7.80.0

7.80.0 Released on: 11/06/2026. This release adds new observability features, updates Health Platform issue reporting and persistence, and changes Linux APM trace agent startup behavior.

• Admission controller can restrict APM auto-instrumentation image registries with container_registry_allow_list, reducing injection from untrusted registries.
• Windows certificate checks now support certificate_store_regex for more precise certificate store targeting.

• Health Platform persistence files from earlier agent versions are now treated as incompatible and discarded on startup, avoiding use of stale issue state.
• Autodiscovery template resolution failures are now logged at ERROR level and reported as health events when Health Platform is enabled.
• Agent diagnose output now includes check names in the check-datadog suite and improves --include/--exclude matching.
• DogStatsD timing metrics now include an explicit millisecond unit so the UI can display the correct unit.
• Windows Cloud Network Monitoring connections are now tagged with interface_name and interface_type.

• Windows MSI now ships the AI usage Chrome native messaging host and registers it machine-wide.
• Adds discovery.service_map.enabled to run USM eBPF monitoring in restricted service map mode.
• Adds k8sobjectsreceiver to the DDOT default manifest.
• Adds a new get-resource action in kubeactions.
• Fleet installer now includes FIPS sibling manifests selected automatically when DD_FIPS_MODE=true.
• Adds a new nccl core check for per-rank NCCL collective communication metrics.
• Supports datadog.metric.as_type on OTLP delta sum metrics, including rate conversion.
• Adds multi_secret_backends for routing secrets across multiple named backends.
• Adds kubernetes_metadata_streaming by default to stream Kubernetes metadata from the Cluster Agent.
• Dynamic Instrumentation now supports compound conditions using &&.

• Health Platform ReportIssue now takes a single IssueReport argument; use ResolveIssue(issueID) to clear issues.
• Update dashboards and telemetry filters from health_check_id to issue_type for health_platform.issues_detected.
• On Linux, the APM trace agent now starts lazily; set apm_config.socket_activation.enabled: false or DD_APM_SOCKET_ACTIVATION_ENABLED=false to restore previous behavior.
• For NCCL monitoring, enable gpu.nccl.enabled: true and ensure the profiler plugin can write to the configured Unix socket.
• When using multi_secret_backends, secret_backend_command takes precedence over secret_backend_type, which takes precedence over named backends.
• The fleet installer now chooses the FIPS manifest automatically when DD_FIPS_MODE=true.
