Release Notes

installscript-1.9.0

Upgrade Notes

Since datadog-agent 6.36/7.36, Debian 7 (Wheezy) is no longer supported, install_script.sh now installs 6.35/7.35 when the minor version is unpinned, and DD_AGENT_FLAVOR doesn't specify a version.
Allow nightly builds install on non-prod repos.

installscript-1.8.0

New Features

Enable installation of the datadog-dogstatsd package.

Enhancement Notes

Don't require DD_API_KEY when the configuration file already exists.

Bug Fixes

Zypper repofile is now created correctly with only one gpgkey entry on OpenSUSE 42.

installscript-1.7.1

Bug Fixes

Invocation of zypper when running install_script.sh as root is now fixed.

installscript-1.7.0

Upgrade Notes

Since datadog-agent 6.33/7.33, the SUSE RPMs are only supported on OpenSUSE >= 15 (including OpenSUSE >= 42) and SLES >= 12. On OpenSUSE < 15 and SLES < 12, install_script.sh now installs 6.32/7.32 when minor version is unpinned and DD_AGENT_FLAVOR doesn't specify version.
On Debian-based systems, the install script now installs the datadog-signing-keys package in addition to the datadog-agent package.

For users using the official apt.datadoghq.com repository: the datadog-signing-keys package is already present in the repository, no further action is necessary.

For users with custom mirrors or repositories: the datadog-signing-keys package must be present in the same repository channel as the datadog-agent package, otherwise the install script will fail to install the Agent.

Enhancement Notes

The install_script.sh now supports AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux installation. Note that only datadog-agent, datadog-iot-agent and datadog-dogstatsd since version 6.33/7.33 support these distributions, so trying to install older versions will fail.
Environment variable ZYPP_RPM_DEBUG value is now propagated through install_script.sh to the zypper install command to enable RPM transaction debugging.

installscript-1.6.0

Enhancement Notes

Suggest installing the IoT Agent on armv7l.

Bug Fixes

Ensure that Debian/Ubuntu APT keyrings get created world-readable, so that the _apt user can read them.
Improved detection of systemd as init system.

installscript-1.5.0

New Features

Adds capability to specify a minor (and optional patch) version by setting the DD_AGENT_MINOR_VERSION variable.

Enhancement Notes

Adds email validation before sending a report.
Improvements for APT keys management
- By default, get keys from keys.datadoghq.com, not Ubuntu keyserver
- Always add the DATADOG_APT_KEY_CURRENT.public key (contains key used to sign current repodata)
- Add signed-by option to all sources list lines
- On Debian >= 9 and Ubuntu >= 16, only add keys to /usr/share/keyrings/datadog-archive-keyring.gpg
- On older systems, also add the same keyring to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d

Bug Fixes

Fix SUSE version detection algorithm to work without deprecated /etc/SuSE-release file.

installscript-1.4.0

Enhancement Notes

Add a gpgkey= entry ensuring that dnf/yum/zypper always have access to the key used to sign current repodata.
Change RPM key location from yum.datadoghq.com to keys.datadoghq.com.
Activate repo_gpgcheck on RPM repositories by default. repo_gpgcheck is still set to 0 when using a custom REPO_URL or when running on RHEL/CentOS 8.1 because of a bug in dnf. The default value can be overriden by specifying DD_RPM_REPO_GPGCHECK variable. The allowed values are 0 (to disable) and 1 (to enable).
