# Release v1.5.3

## Added

- Add a watchdog that periodically checks if vital portions of the sensor are hanging. At the moment this includes hanging during shutdown, no longer responding to safemode requests, and the telemetry pipeline.

## Changed

- Manage eBPF and Audit filemod feature flags separately

## Fixed

- In rare cases, the sensor could hang during shutdown if too many containers were started/stopped at the same time
- Audit telemetry: Do not emit filemod related errors for audit telemetry on unsupported kernels
- Audit telemetry: Do not emit filemod events for rules that do not match the ones created by the sensor
- Audit telemetry: Do not error out for filemod rules that already exist being re-added
- Audit telemetry: Do not fail for filemod rules that have already been deleted
- Audit telemetry: Resolve hanging issues caused by the audit reader thread not exiting
- Audit telemetry: Handle audit inconsistencies caused by missing messages or failure to shutdown more robustly
