The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Traffic during February, 2026.
Features
- Device downsampling visibility: New "Downsampling" filter on the Device list plus status indicators warning when a device is being downsampled.
- New flow status indicator: Added a distinct indicator for the "Flow Configured, Not Received" state to differentiate it from downsampled flow.
- Enumerated columns: Custom enumerated columns now display human-readable string values instead of numeric IDs and can be filtered using string values and pattern matching.
- Additive dictionary permissions: Data Explorer now merges chart and filter types from multiple sources (OTT, CDN, base) based on permissions.
- Traffic cost permissions: Traffic cost slicing options in the Traffic Costs view are now restricted based on user permissions.
Bug Fixes
- Custom dimension values: Fixed missing values for custom dimensions in query results by updating the tagging client.
- kmetrics filtering: Removed a vestigial device-name clause that prevented results when filtering kmetrics by device name.
- Sample rate accuracy: Fixed flow sample rate rounding so small data blips no longer mark flows as "Downsampled".
