2023.10.3 release notes for Automation Suite on EKS/AKS.

Release date: April 19, 2024

Support for migrating standalone Insights to Automation Suite

We are excited to announce that you can now migrate your standalone Insights to Automation Suite. This migration allows you to enjoy all the benefits associated with deploying multiple UiPath on-premises products in a unified, single location. For more details, see Full migration.

Simplified migration to Automation Suite

Erratum - added June 3, 2024: We have made multiple improvements to the migration tool, in an attempt to streamline the process of migrating from a standalone product to Automation Suite.

One notable enhancement to highlight is the migration tool's ability to automatically create a tenant for each organization. This means that you no longer need to manually perform this operation.

If, however, you have already started to manually perform this step when migrating to Automation Suite, the migration tool will ignore it and create new tenant-organization pairs. Note that the format of the automatically generated tenant name is tenant_xxxxxxxx, where xxxxxxxx signifies the first eight characters of the Automation Suite organization ID.

Aside from this, you no longer need to provide the tenant ID when merging the organizations.

Another significant change is the updated parameters in the UiPath.OrganizationMigrationApp tool:

• We have repurposed the following existing parameters:
  • The s parameter previously required the Identity database connection of the standalone product. Now, it requires you to provide the list of organization IDs of the standalone product.
  • The d parameter previously required the Identity database connection of Automation Suite. Now, it requires you to provide the list of organization IDs of Automation Suite.
• We have introduced the following new parameters:
  • The i parameter requires the Identity database connection of the standalone product.
  • The j parameter requires the Identity database connection of Automation Suite.
  • The o parameter requires the Orchestrator database connection of the standalone product.
  • The p parameter requires the URL of Automation Suite.
  • The c this parameter requires the OMS S2S client secret.

Support for Bottlerocket

We have added Bottlerocket to the list of operating systems supported by Automation Suite on EKS. For more details, see Kubernetes cluster and nodes.

Updated Kubernetes version support

We have added support for Kubernetes 1.29 and removed support for Kubernetes 1.26. We recommend that you check the Compatibility matrix and make sure you upgrade to a supported version, if needed.

Deprecating license activation from the host portal

We are striving to better support the ever evolving commercial offering of the UiPath® platform, and, as part of that, we are deprecating the option to activate licenses from the host portal. To help ease the transition, we have added a warning banner notifying administrators of the deprecation, and providing best practices for license activation.

Please rest assured that this in no way affects the functionality, and that you can still activate licenses from the host portal until the feature is removed.

Bug fixes

• Erratum - added December 15, 2024: We previously addressed an issue in an erratum dated July 3, 2024, concerning the inability to save custom configurations in the email settings due to a form validation issue. The specific issue was that the Save button appeared greyed out, even when all required fields in the form were correctly filled in. This was said to be fixed, enabling users to successfully submit the form once all necessary fields have been meticulously filled in. However, upon further review, we regret to inform you that this issue has not been completely resolved. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused and want to assure you that we are actively working towards a definitive solution. Find a workaround in the known issues section.
• We have fixed an issue that caused a 404 error when trying to create or import a dashboard in Grafana. This behavior no longer occurs.

Known issues

FIPS 140-2 support limitations

Erratum - added January 22, 2026: Insights is not supported on Automation Suite deployments that run on FIPS 140-2-enabled machines. To remain compliant with FIPS 140-2 requirements, you must disable Insights.

For details, refer to Security and compliance.

Issue with saving custom configurations in email settings

Erratum - added December 15, 2024: When configuring the email settings, you cannot save any custom configurations due to an issue with form validation. The Save button incorrectly appears grayed out, despite filling in all the required fields correctly. As a workaround, you can make a PUT request to the /identity_/api/setting endpoint.

Use the appropriate access token and make sure the request body contains the necessary details. Also make sure that Email.Smtp.UseDefaultCredentials is set to True, like in the following example:

{
    "Settings": [
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.Host",
            "Value": "SendGrid"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.Port",
            "Value": "587"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.UserName",
            "Value": ""
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.Domain",
            "Value": ""
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.FromEmail",
            "Value": "[e-mail]"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.FromDisplayName",
            "Value": "UiPath Platform"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.EnableSsl",
            "Value": "true"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.UseDefaultCredentials",
            "Value": "true"
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.Password",
            "Value": ""
        },
        {
            "Key": "Email.Smtp.ConnectionTimeout",
            "Value": "180000"
        }
    ],
    "PartitionGlobalId": ""
}

Upgrade failure due to overridden Insights PVC sizes

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 2023.10.7.

Insights volumes created in two different zones following migration

When you migrate from Automation Suite on Linux to Automation Suite on EKS/AKS, Insights-related volumes are occasionally created in two different zones. As a result, you may encounter issues when bringing up the Insights service. To address the problem, see Troubleshooting.

We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.7.

Test Automation SQL connection string is ignored

Erratum - added October 17, 2024: When you provide an SQL connection string under the orchestrator.testautomation section of the input.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.

Pods cannot communicate with FQDN in a proxy environment

Erratum - added October 17, 2024: In a proxy environment, if the proxy server uses the same port as the TCP port of any other service in the Istio service mesh, such as port 8080, pods cannot communicate with the FQDN. The issue causes the following error:

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The proxy tunnel request to proxy 'http://<proxyFQDN>:8080/' failed with status code '404'.

To fix the issue, see Automation Suite on EKS/AKS troubleshooting.

Temporary network policies not getting cleaned up after health check

Erratum - added August 14, 2024: Running a health check creates temporary network policies that are not cleaned up when the check concludes. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.5.

Unnecessary ListBucket API prerequisite check fails for external objectstore

Erratum - added August 14, 2024: For AI Center and Task Mining, the 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.

Installation fails when Velero is enabled

Erratum - added June 25, 2024: The Automation Suite installation might fail when Velero is enabled. To fix the issue, follow the steps in Troubleshooting.

The backup setup does not work due to a failure to connect to Azure Government

Erratum - added June 25, 2024: Following an Automation Suite on AKS installation or upgrade, the backup setup does not work because of a failure to connect to Azure Government. You can fix the issue by taking the steps described in Automation Suite on EKS/AKS troubleshooting.

Log streaming does not work in proxy setups

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: Log forwarding does not work in proxy setups because the proxy environment variables were not set in the logging pods. To address the issue, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.10.

Licensing SQL connection error

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: Licensing SQL connection errors occur when the Data Source property specified both a named instance and a port.

We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.10.

Insights dashboards excluded from backups

Erratum - added April 2, 2025: An issue is preventing the inclusion of Insights dashboards in backups. To address this issue, refer to the Backing up the cluster page. The issue is fixed in Automation Suite 2023.10.8.

Fluentd logs transmission failure

Erratum - added February 13, 2025: An issue prevents Fluentd from sending logs to remote locations due to a lack of memory buffer. To address this issue, you must add a memory limit for Fluentd to prevent disruptions or delays when transmitting logs to a remote location.

This issue is fixed in Automation Suite 2023.10.8.

Microsoft Entra ID limitations

Erratum - added January 20, 2025: Insights and Task Mining do not currently support Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) authentication configuration for access to SQL, storage, and other resources that support Microsoft Entra.

Insights dashboards backup issue

Erratum - added December 18, 2024 We have identified an issue with the backup logic in Automation Suite for AKS/EKS. Specifically, this defect excludes the backup of Insights dashboards. However, all historical data is successfully backed up.

We are working diligently to resolve this issue. We aim to develop and implement a mitigation approach as early as possible.

If you are using Automation Suite on AKS/EKS along with UiPath Insights, this defect may affect your operations. While we address this issue, we suggest manually exporting your dashboards as a preventive measure.

Note that backups are mainly used as a recovery method in the event of a disaster-level incident or in preparation for an Automation Suite upgrade. This is particularly useful if an upgrade fails and stored data needs to be restored to its previous state.

Deprecation timeline

We recommend that you regularly check the deprecation timeline for any updates regarding features that will be deprecated and removed.
