**AI Investigation Notification type**: A new notification type has been introduced to support AI-driven investigation alerts, enabling customers to receive notifications triggered by AI investigation workflows. ## Alerting ### Features - **CFMT API token authentication**: Cloudflare Magic Transit (CFMT) mitigation platform now supports API token-based authentication, giving customers a more secure and flexible way to authenticate with the Cloudflare API. - **Notification Templates API — render and schema endpoints**: New API methods have been added to support an improved notification template editor in the Kentik Portal, including endpoints to render templates and retrieve their schema. - **Unified mitigation platform health reporting**: Mitigation platform status now provides unified error and health reporting, giving customers a consistent and clearer view of mitigation platform health across all providers. - **Updated notification template types**: Notification template types have been updated to reflect the latest EventViewModel changes, ensuring templates render correctly with all recent alerting changes. ### Bug Fixes - **Fixed alarm querying for tenant applications**: Resolved an issue where active alarms were not being returned correctly for tenant policy applications, ensuring tenant customers can now see their active alarms. - **Fixed nil baseliner panic**: Resolved a crash that occurred when shadow policies were loaded and removed, improving alerting stability. - **Fixed policy loader to filter permitted policies only**: Updated policy loaders to correctly enforce policy permissions, preventing unauthorized policies from being processed. - **Fixed stale stats metrics reset**: Stale statistics metrics are now correctly reset to zero, preventing misleading metric values from persisting. - **Improved alarm search with context filtering**: Fixed an issue where alarm list queries with context search terms returned incorrect empty result sets, ensuring alarm search results are now accurate. ## Core ### Features - **Public Audit API**: A new public Audit API (v202601) has been introduced, allowing customers to programmatically retrieve audit event data matching what is visible in the Kentik Portal. - **Enumerations API**: New API definitions for an Enumerations service have been added, providing customers with programmatic access to manage and update enumeration values. - **New kptr reverse DNS lookup service**: A new on-demand reverse DNS lookup service (kptr) has been introduced and registered with the API gateway, enabling reverse DNS lookups via the Kentik API. - **Extended ktrac API timeout**: The API gateway timeout for the ktrac service has been increased to 30 minutes (1800s), supporting longer-running KDE queries without timeouts. ### Bug Fixes - **Fixed missing IP address in Audit API response**: Resolved an issue where IP address data was missing from Audit API event responses, ensuring complete audit event details are returned. - **Fixed filter parsing edge cases**: Resolved a bug in SQL filter parsing that caused incorrect behavior with certain filter expressions, improving query reliability. ## Network Monitoring System (NMS) ### Features - **New DEGRADED agent health status**: The NMS agent (kagent) now supports a `DEGRADED` health status, providing customers with more granular visibility into agent health — indicating reduced performance or capacity without full failure. - **OpenWrt device detection**: The NMS agent can now detect and identify OpenWrt OS family devices, expanding the range of supported network devices. - **SNMP trap structured format modernization**: SNMP trap data now uses the json-table data engine format for structured columns, improving consistency and compatibility with the Kentik data platform. - **NMS metrics schema extended with query_column**: The NMS metrics schema now includes a `query_column` field, enabling more flexible querying of NMS metrics data. - **kprobe deprecation notice**: A deprecation notice has been added to kprobe, informing customers that this component will be retired in a future release. - **kagent Helm chart improvements**: The kagent Helm chart has been updated with a license file, documented Linux capabilities, and minor configuration improvements for customers deploying the NMS agent via Helm. ### Bug Fixes - **Fixed agent keepalive stability issue**: Disabled a keepalive setting that was causing agent connectivity issues (NMS-463), improving agent stability and reliability. ## Synthetics ### Features - **Enhanced agent state reporting**: Improved state management and reporting for the synthetics agent, providing more accurate health and capability status information. ### Bug Fixes - **Fixed upload stream closure on server non-response**: Resolved an issue where upload streams were not properly closed when the server did not respond, preventing resource leaks and improving agent reliability.
