# Insights agent release notes

## Agent v1.169.0

July 26, 2026

This release includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

## Agent v1.168.0

July 20, 2026

This release includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

## Agent v1.167.0

July 12, 2026

The agent release provides the following new features:

### New features

We added support for **Multi-dimensional autoscaling** (MDA).

MDA introduces optimization for both Pod resources **and** the number of replicas running in the cluster.

Before MDA, Pod rightsizing optimized the CPU and memory requests of each Pod; however, workloads may still run more baseline replicas than they actually need, creating additional waste that cannot be addressed through Pod-level optimization alone.

Minimum replica values are often configured conservatively to reduce operational risk and then remain unchanged as workload behavior evolves. As a result, workloads can continue consuming unnecessary compute resources even after CPU and memory requests have been optimized.

By combining Pod rightsizing and Replica optimization, MDA addresses both resource-level and replica-level inefficiencies, continuously aligning workload resources with actual demand across CPU, memory, and replicas.

This means:

- Better resource utilization.
- Additional cost savings beyond Pod rightsizing.
- Smarter autoscaling with minimal manual effort.

For more information, see [Multi-dimensional autoscaling](/v1/docs/multi-dimensional-autoscaling).

This release also includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

## Agent v1.166.0

July 2, 2026

This release includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

## Agent v1.161.0

April 6, 2026

The agent release provides the following new features, enhancements, and fixes:

### New features

- These new features were added to the **Kompass Pod rightsizing** solution:
  - Pod rightsizing is managed on workloads by applying policies. With policies, you can apply opinionated, goal-driven configurations that adapt rightsizing behavior per workload type and usage pattern. You can use these built-in policies, or you can create custom policies:
    - Balanced
    - Cost-focused
    - Performance-focused

For more information, see [Pod rightsizing](https://docs.zesty.co/docs/pod-rightsizing).

- 
  - Pod rightsizing now supports the following batch-like workload types:
    - Jobs
    - CronJobs
    - SparkApplication
    - KEDA ScaledJobs

For more information, see [Apply and manage Pod rightsizing for batch-like workloads](https://docs.zesty.co/docs/apply-and-manage-pod-rightsizing-for-batch-like-workloads).

### Enhancements

The following enhancement was added:

- **Backfill data support**: When the Insights agent comes back up after a temporary outage, data is backfilled from the VictoriaMetrics database.

### Fixes

The following issues were fixed:

- Node costs were duplicated in the UI causing cluster costs to be inflated.
- ArgoCD misinterpreted Kompass metadata causing frequent resynchs.
