v0.26.0

This is release v0.26.0 of the Grafana Agent.

⚠️ ⚠️ This release has a known issue with linux/amd64 binaries requiring the libbpfcc package. ⚠️ ⚠️
Until a fix is in place, you can work around this issue by either installing the bcc toolkit on your system, using our v0.26.0 Docker images or building from source and providing the -tags=noebpf flag.

Windows installer

The Windows installer is provided as a release asset for x64 machines.

Binary

We provide precompiled binary executables for the most common operating systems. Choose from the assets below for your matching operating system.

Note: ppc64le builds are currently considered secondary release targets and do not have the same level of support and testing as other platforms.

Example for the linux operating system on amd64:

# download the binary
curl -O -L "https://github.com/grafana/agent/releases/download/v0.26.0/agent-linux-amd64.zip"

# extract the binary
unzip "agent-linux-amd64.zip"

# make sure it is executable
chmod a+x "agent-linux-amd64"

agentctl

agentctl, a tool for helping you interact with the Agent, is available as a Docker image:

docker pull "grafana/agentctl:v0.26.0"

Or as a binary. Like before, choose the assets below that matches your operating system. For example, with linux on amd64:

# download the binary
curl -O -L "https://github.com/grafana/agent/releases/download/v0.26.0/agentctl-linux-amd64.zip"

# extract the binary
unzip "agentctl-linux-amd64.zip"

# make sure it is executable
chmod a+x "agentctl-linux-amd64"

agent-operator, a Kubernetes Operator for the Grafana Agent, is available only as a Docker image:
