Notes:

  • Custom kernel builds are not supported.
  • The CSM Threats eBPF-less solution for eBPF disabled environments uses a ptrace-based Datadog Agent. The ptrace-based Datadog Agent supports Linux kernel versions from 3.4.43 to 4.9.85.
  • For compatibility with a custom Kubernetes network plugin like Cilium or Calico, see the Troubleshooting Cloud Security Management Threats.
  • Data collection is done using eBPF, so Datadog requires, at minimum, platforms that have underlying Linux kernel versions of 4.14.0+ or have eBPF features backported (for example, Centos/RHEL 7 with kernel 3.10 has eBPF features backported, so it is supported).
