# May 2026 - Platform

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

## Features

- **Device list views**: The ListDevices API now accepts a `view` parameter (FULL, BASIC, ID_ONLY) to control response detail and improve performance for lightweight queries.
- **Get device by name**: New `GetDeviceByName` API endpoint allows looking up a device by name instead of ID.
- **VRF management via Interface API**: Interface API requests can now create and update VRF records, fixing 500 errors on interface updates.
- **Tenant user API**: Added separate create, update, and delete operations for MKP tenant users as distinct operations from tenant management.
- **Device Command Access default**: The Device Command Access feature flag is now enabled by default for non-on-premises deployments.
- **BGP password validation clarity**: Updated the `device_bgp_password` field description to reflect the full accepted character set.
- **Insights admin authentication**: Added basic authentication to the insights admin interface to prevent unauthorized changes to insights definitions.
- **Bulk device site reassignment**: New bulk API and UI to reassign multiple devices to a different site in a single operation with RBAC enforcement.
- **Universal Agents severity scale**: Agent and capability health now use a full five-level scale (Healthy, Warning, Degraded, Critical, Down) across Universal Agents and Agent Details.
- **Capability restart telemetry**: Added `capability_restarts` and `crash_loop_count` metrics for alerting on restart loops and crash storms.
- **Ubuntu 26.04 support**: Agents can now be deployed on Ubuntu 26.04 and Linux Mint 23.

## Bug Fixes

- **Site filter sorting**: Site filter options on the Devices page are now sorted alphabetically with "None" pinned to the top.
- **License page flow measurement accuracy**: Fixed FPS query logic on the License page to deduplicate measurements per device and average values, improving accuracy for DevicePak and FlowPak plans.
- **SSO super admin protection**: Super admin access is no longer downgraded through SSO attribute mapping, and rolesets only apply when they contain roles.
- **Data Explorer timezone label**: The Data Explorer date range header now shows the timezone (UTC offset) for clarity.
- **Tree navigation readability**: Improved tree navigation with larger fonts, chevron icons, and better alignment.
