Summary
gpu.enabled: truefrom thedatadog.yamlblock and did not clearly communicate thatsystem-probe.yamlmust also be configureddatadog.yamlandsystem-probe.yamlrequire changesgpu_monitoring.enabled: trueinsystem-probe.yamlis required even for non-containerized hostsMotivation
Tracked in AGENT-16266. A customer (Norfolk Southern Corp) followed the official setup docs and the shipped
datadog.yaml.example/system-probe.yaml.exampletemplates, neither of which document thesystem-probe.yamlflag. The result was system-probe running healthy (eBPF loaded, T4 discovered, uprobes attached) while the core-agent GPU check never instantiated (Last Check from Core Agent: 1969-12-31). The integrations-core README already covered both files but the steps were easy to miss — this PR makes them explicit and sequential.Test plan
gpu.enabled: truenow appears in thedatadog.yamlcode blockgpu_monitoring.enabled: trueand thesystem-probe.yamlstep are clearly presented alongside thedatadog.yamlstep🤖 Generated with Claude Code
