Automation Suite Release Notes
2023.10.2
Release date: February 28, 2024
Automation Suite 2023.4.5 and 2023.10.2 include an upgrade to Kubernetes 1.26.11. As such, when upgrading Automation Suite, you must ensure you do not downgrade Kubernetes. To do that, when moving from Automation Suite 2023.4.5 or a later minor version to the next major version, you must upgrade to 2023.10.2 at a minimum.
Erratum - Added March 25, 2024: We now support Microsoft SQL Server 2022.
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter is set to 0.
For more on the prerequisite script, see Validating the prerequisites.
We have expanded our OS support to include RHEL 8.9, alongside existing support for 8.6 and 8.8 versions.
We continue to provide security updates and patches to address Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs).
- Erratum - added August 26, 2024: We have fixed an issue causing the migration from an in-cluster objectstore to an external objectstore to fail.
-
Erratum - added May 29, 2024: Network policies in Airflow could previously cause improper functioning of the DNS. The issue no longer occurs.
-
We have fixed an issue causing the installer to wrongly ask you to provide a temporary registry whenever adding a new product to an existing Automation Suite installation. The issue caused a failure in the installation process.
-
Previously, certain SQL server certificate validations within our flow were being suppressed. We have changed this practice to allow for earlier identification of potential problems.
-
We have fixed an issue causing the side-by-side upgrade of Automation Suite 2022.10 or earlier to 2023.10.0 or 2023.10.1 to fail when Apps was enabled and you used Kerberos authentication for the SQL Server database.
-
We have modified stored procedures to handle collation differences between the SQL server and SQL database.
Erratum - added December 18, 2024: An issue causes upgrades to fail when the existing Insights PVC sizes are inadvertently overridden. To address this problem, you must manually change the PVC sizes in ArgoCD UI. For details, see the Troubleshooting section.
This issue is fixed in Automation Suite 2024.10.7.
Following an Automation Suite upgrade from version 2023.4 or older, reinstalling or upgrading Insights results in data loss due to an issue with Insights storage class changes. To address the problem, see Troubleshooting.
We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.7.
redis-cluster-0 pod to get stuck in the terminating state when you perform a node drain in non-HA Redis scenarios. To address the problem,
you must force delete the pod using the following command:
kubectl -n redis-system delete pod redis-cluster-0 --forcekubectl -n redis-system delete pod redis-cluster-0 --forceWe fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.7.
redis.<primary-fqdn> and redis-db.<primary-fqdn> during Active/Passive prerequisite checks. This issue is fixed in Automation Suite 2024.10.7.
Erratum - added December 18, 2024: An Insights annotation issue blocks the Automation Suite installer. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.7.
exclude= rke2-* is not added to the /etc/yum.conf file on nodes other than the first server. In specific environments, particularly online ones, an attempt to upgrade all
components can cause an unintentional upgrade of the RKE2 service on nodes other than the first server.
exclude=rke2-* to the /etc/yum.conf file on all the nodes of your Automation Suite cluster.
aicenter skill sync and aicenter skill status commands during a side-by-side upgrade.
To fix this issue, you must manually edit the syntax. For details, see the Troubleshooting section.
orchestrator.testautomation section of the cluster_config.json file, the uipathctl binary ignores the connection string and uses the one under the orchestrator section instead. To address the problem, see the Troubleshooting section.
Erratum - added October 17, 2024: When deploying Automation Suite on AWS machines where only IMDSv2 is enabled, installation fails while populating node labels. To address the issue, see the Important note in Optional: Enabling resilience to zonal failures in a multi-node HA-ready production cluster.
system-upgrade namespace. If the upgrade command fails at any stage (infra, fabric, or service upgrade), take the following steps before
retrying the upgrade:
-
List the existing jobs in the
system-upgradenamespace:kubectl get jobs -n system-upgradekubectl get jobs -n system-upgrade -
Delete the failed jobs:
kubectl -n system-upgrade delete jobs <failed_jobs>kubectl -n system-upgrade delete jobs <failed_jobs>When running the command, replace the<failed_jobs>placeholder with the names of the failed jobs, separated by spaces.
We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.6.
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The proxy tunnel request to proxy 'http://<proxyFQDN>:8080/' failed with status code '404'.System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The proxy tunnel request to proxy 'http://<proxyFQDN>:8080/' failed with status code '404'.To fix the issue, see the Troubleshooting section.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: An issue affects the support bundle generation when using an external OCI registry in an offline environment. Under these conditions, the generated support bundle lacks historical logs and cannot upload to any selected external object storage. To fix this issue, see the Troubleshooting section.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: Upgrading from Automation Suite 2023.10.x fails due to the Longhorn storage classes still being present. To solve the problem, you must clean up the Longhorn storage classes manually, by running the following command:
for sc in $(kubectl get sc -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.provisioner=="driver.longhorn.io") | .metadata.name'); do
kubectl delete sc "${sc}"
done for sc in $(kubectl get sc -o json | jq -r '.items[] | select(.provisioner=="driver.longhorn.io") | .metadata.name'); do
kubectl delete sc "${sc}"
doneWe fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
ListBucket API prerequisite check fails when using an external objectstore. However, AI Center and Task Mining do not use the ListBucket API permission. We removed the unnecessary check in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
Erratum - added August 14, 2024: You cannot enable SSO for ArgoCD due to an issue with the Dex image versions. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.
snapshot-controller-crds pod to remain in the CrashLoopBackOff state after upgrade. This occurs due to a conflict between the newly installed snapshot-controller and the existing one during the RKE2 upgrade. To fix the issue, see the Troubleshooting section.
Erratum - added July 24, 2024: Using an external storage with a proxy environment causes Orchestrator, the Automation Suite Support Bundle Tool, Prometheus, Thanos, Fluentd, etc. to fail. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.3.

}When generating the support bundle, an incorrect FQDN is used for AKS on Azure Government. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.4.
platform-service-secrets. This issue occurs when the host admin is updated and no longer matches the one in the platform-service-secrets. To fix this, the password in the platform-service-secretsmust be updated to match the new admin password.
Erratum - added April 19, 2024: When uninstalling rook-ceph, an error message related to missing external object storage configuration is displayed. This issue accours even though the migration is succesful. This behavior is fixed in Automation Suite 23.10.3.
Erratum - added April 19, 2024: In certain situations, Ceph metrics and alerts are missing from the monitoring dashboards. To fix the issue, see the Troubleshooting section.
