Summary

  • Adds analyzers: ["os", "languages"] to the Cloud Security SBOM setup instructions for Kubernetes (Datadog Operator and Helm tabs) and Linux host deployments.
  • Adds a version note (requires Agent 7.70+) and a Supported application library package managers table covering all 13 ecosystems from the internal SAAL engineering spec.
  • No changes to Docker, ECS EC2, or Windows pages (those use env vars — separate follow-up).

Background

Agent 7.70 ships a languages SBOM analyzer that detects vulnerabilities in application libraries (npm, pip, Maven, NuGet, Go modules, Cargo, Bundler, etc.) in addition to OS packages. This was previously undocumented in the public setup guides.

Internal reference: https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SAAL/pages/5244553414/Enable+apps+libs+SBOM+collection

Pages changed

  • content/en/security/cloud_security_management/setup/agent/kubernetes.md
  • content/en/security/cloud_security_management/setup/agent/linux.md

Checklist

  • YAML keys: containerImage in Operator/Helm, container_image in host yaml
  • Version note says 7.70+
  • Package manager table covers all 13 ecosystems
  • No changes to out-of-scope pages (Docker, ECS EC2, Windows)

…and Linux

Add documentation for the languages analyzer introduced in Agent 7.70.
Users can opt into scanning application libraries (npm, pip, Maven/Gradle,
NuGet, Go modules, Cargo, Bundler, etc.) alongside OS packages by setting
analyzers: ["os", "languages"] in their SBOM configuration.

Covers:
- Kubernetes: Datadog Operator (spec.features.sbom) and Helm (datadog.sbom)
- Linux: /etc/datadog-agent/datadog.yaml

Both pages include a 7.70+ version note and a supported package
manager table covering all 13 ecosystems.
