The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for Traffic during January 2026.
Features
- New AI service DNS classification: Added DNS service definitions for GitHub Copilot and Microsoft Copilot, with updated patterns for Sentry and OpenAI, so AI platform traffic is properly identified in DNS analytics.
