Enhancement Notes
- gpu: Constant metrics (
gpu.device.total,gpu.memory.limit,gpu.core.limit, andgpu.memory.bar1.total) are reported on the cadence set by the newgpu.static_metrics_reporting_interval(15 seconds by default) to ensure accuracy when using weighted sums. - Single Step Instrumentation's tracer config mechanisms (the
ddTraceConfigsTargetsfield, remote-config policies, and theadmission.datadoghq.com/apm-inject.tracer-configspod annotation) now also acceptOTEL_prefixed environment variable names, in addition to the existingDD_prefix. This allows configuring a tracer's native OpenTelemetry mode (e.g.OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER,OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT) through SSI.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed the Agent Data Plane pre-flight sending its metrics and API key to
datadoghq.cominstead of the configuredsite. The generated pre-flight configuration was built from the fully resolved Agent configuration, sodd_url's default value appeared in it as though it had been set explicitly, and an explicitdd_urltakes precedence oversite. The pre-flight configuration is now built from the settings the operator actually supplied, matching what a normally-supervised Agent Data Plane reads fromdatadog.yaml. - Fix
DD_NETWORK_PATH_COLLECTOR_FILTERSso JSON-encoded Network Path collector filters are parsed and applied correctly.
