2023.10.5

Release date: August 14, 2024

AWS Signature Version 4 support

Automation Suite now uses AWS Signature Version 4 for all S3 API requests. This impacts the use of Automation Suite with S3 servers that do not support AWS Signature Version 4.

Bug fixes

• Running a health check would create temporary network policies that were not cleaned up when the check concluded. We have fixed the issue.

• For AI Center and Task Mining, the ListBucket API prerequisite check failed when using an external objectstore. However, AI Center and Task Mining do not use the ListBucket API permission. We have removed the unnecessary check.

• In instances with host level SAML configured, when you accessed Automation Suite through a specific <Automation_Suite_URL>/<Organization_name> URL and selected the host level SAML login option, the ACS URL was incorrectly generated using the organization ID from the URL, instead of the expected host level ACS URL. We have fixed this. The system now correctly generates the host-level ACS URL during a host level SAML login, irrespective of the specific organization URL used to access Automation Suite.

• Previously, you could not save your SMTP settings without providing a username and password, even though these details were optional. This behavior no longer occurs.

Known issues

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 2024.10.7.

Failing EKS backup related to Velero version

Erratum - added December 18, 2024: A Velero version-related issue causes the Automation Suite on EKS backup to fail. To address the issue, you must manually modify the Velero deployment. For details, see the Troubleshooting section.

We fixed the issue 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.

Health check fails for component that is no longer used

Running a health check on AKS results in an [ARGOCD_REDIS_PODS] failure for ArgoCD Redis HA. However, ArgoCD Redis HA is no longer used in Automation Suite on AKS. We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2023.10.6.

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.

Insights dashboards backup issue

Erratum - added December 18, 2024We 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.
