Kubernetes Agent v1.9.18

Includes Java Agent v2.2.68

July 28, 2026

Caution

Upgrade the master agent and node agent together. Running mismatched versions may cause the agents to behave incorrectly.

Feature Added collection of node conntrack table usage
- Adds the conntrack_count (current entries), conntrack_max (limit), and conntrack_pct (usage, %) fields to kube_node_perf.
- Nodes without the nf_conntrack module don't send these fields, which distinguishes zero usage from no collection.
- Configuration option: collect_conntrack_enabled (default: enabled).
Info
conntrack collection requires no additional RBAC permissions. To stop collecting it, set collect_conntrack_enabled=false.
Changed Security update for Go-based components
- Updated the build toolchain for node-helper, the control-plane helper, and debugger to Go 1.25.11.
- Updated dependencies: containerd v1.7.33, Docker v28.5.2, golang.org/x/net v0.56.0, spdystream v0.5.1, SELinux v1.15.1, gRPC v1.82.0.
