Datadog Cluster Agent 1.14.0

Prelude

Released on: 2021-08-12
Pinned to datadog-agent v7.30.0

New Features

• Enable DaemonSet collection by default in the orchestrator check. Add StatefulSet collection in the orchestrator check.

Enhancement Notes

• The Cluster Agent's Admission Controller now uses the admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1 kubernetes API when available.
• The Cluster Agent can be instructed to dispatch cluster checks without decrypting secrets. The node Agent or the cluster check runner will fetch the secrets after receiving the configurations from the Cluster Agent. This can be enabled by setting DD_SECRET_BACKEND_SKIP_CHECKS to true in the Cluster Agent config.
• The Cluster Agent's external metrics provider now serves an OpenAPI endpoint.
• Add the ability to change log_level at runtime. To set the log_level to debug the following command should be used: agent config set log_level debug.
• Improve status and flare for the Cluster Check Runners.

Bug Fixes

• Show different orchestrator status collection information between follower and leader.
• Fix an edge case where the Admission Controller doesn't update the certificate according to the Cluster Agent configuration.
