# January 2026 - Platform

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Platform during January, 2026.

## Features

- **Audit log support for runbooks and UUIDs**: The audit log now supports UUID-based entity identifiers and tracks runbook create/update/delete operations.
- **License page redesign**: A redesigned License page reorganizes add-ons, adds an Account Team card with direct messaging, and improves visual hierarchy for Premier features.
- **PeeringDB settings page**: PeeringDB integration moved from a modal to a dedicated settings page at /v4/settings/peeringdb for easier management.
- **Agent distribution compatibility**: The agent can now run on unsupported Linux distributions with tiered fallback (same-family enabled by default, cross-family opt-in).
- **Kafka SASL authentication**: ktranslate now supports SASL authentication for Kafka sinks via new user, password, and mechanism flags.
- **Kafka TLS verification skip**: Added an option to skip TLS certificate verification for Kafka connections in self-signed environments.
- **Resizable table columns**: You can now resize table columns (Sites, Interfaces, Devices, and more), with your width preferences persisted across sessions.

## Bug Fixes

- **User Analytics without NMS**: The User Analytics page is now accessible without requiring NMS to be enabled.
- **Kproxy error handling**: Kproxy now returns a 400 instead of a 500 when a Kentik Agent Plan is missing, giving clearer feedback.
- **Email subject formatting**: Fixed an issue where HTML tags could appear in email subjects.
- **Capability health status**: Capabilities with unreachable connections now correctly report "Unknown" instead of a misleading "Healthy" status.
- **File tag mapping**: Fixed a bug where identical values in different tag columns were dropped during file-based tag mapping.
