+= Network Observability Operator 1.11.1 fixed issues
+
+[role="_abstract"]
+The Network Observability Operator 1.11.1 release contains several fixed issues that improve eBPF agent performance and the user experience in the {product-title} web console.
+
+eBPF agent memory usage optimization::
+Before this update, a regression in the eBPF agent caused kernel memory to be reserved unintentionally for disabled features. This resulted in higher than expected memory usage for the agent.
++
+With this update, the eBPF agent ensures that reserved kernel memory is kept to a minimum when features are disabled. As a result, the agent's memory footprint is reduced and resource allocation is more efficient.

+
+Improved DNS graph availability in Prometheus-only mode::
+Before this update, when Loki was disabled and DNS tracking was enabled, the {product-title} console plugin failed to display any DNS graphs. Instead, it displayed an error stating the request could not be performed with Prometheus metrics, even for graphs that had valid Prometheus data.
++
+With this update, the error is only displayed for specific graphs that lack configured metrics. As a result, all valid DNS graphs are now correctly displayed in the web console.

+
+Improved error handling in Topology view::
+Before this update, in installations without Loki, certain queries in the *Topology* view could result in errors due to missing Prometheus metrics. These errors sometimes persisted until you cleared the browser cache.
++
+With this update, the console no longer displays invalid scopes caused by missing metrics. Additionally, error handling in the console has been updated to provide more actionable information, eliminating the need for manual cache clears in these scenarios.

+
+////
+Follow this format:
+
+MetricName and Remap fields are validated::
++
+Before this update, users could create a `FlowMetric` custom resource (CR) with an invalid metric name. Although the `FlowMetric` CR was successfully created, the underlying metric would fail silently without providing any error feedback to the user.
++
+With this release, the `FlowMetric`, `metricName`, and `remap` fields are now validated before creation, so users are immediately notified if they enter an invalid name.
