v1.18.0

Warning

Upcoming changes to Agent DaemonSet labels and selectors may affect your setup.

• In Operator v1.21.0, all DaemonSets will replace the matchLabels selector agent.datadoghq.com/name: <dda-name> with app.kubernetes.io/instance: <dda-name>-agent.

If using the preview feature DatadogAgentProfiles (DAPs), the following changes will occur:

• In Operator v1.18.0, the app.kubernetes.io/instance label value was changed from <dda-name>-agent to <dap-name>-agent on DAP-managed Pods and DaemonSets.
• In Operator v1.21.0, the following changes will occur:
  • All DaemonSets will replace the matchLabels selector agent.datadoghq.com/name: <dda-name> with app.kubernetes.io/instance: <dda-name>-agent (for default DaemonSets) or <dap-name>-agent (for DAP-managed DaemonSets).
  • DAP-managed DaemonSets will be renamed from datadog-agent-with-profile-<dda-name>-<dap-name> to <dap-name>-agent.

⚠️ If you rely on these labels or matchLabels (e.g., in NetworkPolicies, admission controllers, or automation), you may need to update those resources.

For a safe, zero-downtime migration path and full details, see the migration guide.
