+    The Agent Profiling check now supports automatic Agent termination after flare generation when memory or CPU thresholds are exceeded. This feature is useful in resource-constrained environments where the Agent needs to be restarted after generating diagnostic information.
+
+    Enable this feature by setting `terminate_agent_on_threshold: true` in the Agent Profiling check configuration. When enabled, the Agent uses its established shutdown mechanism to trigger graceful shutdown after successfully generating a flare, ensuring proper cleanup before exit.
+
+    **Warning**: This feature will cause the Agent to exit. This feature is disabled by default and should be used with caution.
