DataDog DataDog Update Version 7.81.2

Datadog Agent 7.81.2 switches metrics to the Datadog v3 intake by default for Datadog destinations. It also fixes a macOS GUI focus-stealing issue and includes core check changes via integrations-core tag 7.81.2.

• On macOS, opening the Datadog Agent GUI via the fallback launch method no longer steals focus from the application the user is currently working in.

• Metrics now use the Datadog v3 intake by default for Datadog destinations.

• Metric destinations with non-Datadog-looking URLs, such as custom additional_endpoints and reverse proxies, continue to use the v2 intake by default.
• To enable v3 for every destination, set use_v3_api.series.enabled: "true".
• To keep using v2 intake, set use_v3_api.series.enabled: "false" globally or use_v3_api.series.endpoints: { "<url>": "false" } per endpoint.
• Refer to the 7.81.2 tag on integrations-core for the list of changes on the Core Checks.
