2023.4.6

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.

New prerequisites validation check

We have added a new prerequisite check that validates that the upgrade path across Automation Suite versions is correct.

For more on the prerequisite script, see Validating the prerequisites.

Support bundle tool improvements

We have changed the default behaviour of the support bundle tool. The default execution now generates the RKE2 bundle, in addition to the uipath, Redis, and Longhorn bundles.

We have also made the following changes to the support bundle tool arguments:

• We have deprecated the -r argument, which used to enable the RKE2 bundle generation since the operation occurs by default now;
• We have added a new argument, -e, to exclude the RKE2 bundle and only generate the uipath support bundle.

For more details, see Using the Automation Suite Support Bundle Tool.

Custom path for RKE2 logs

You can now opt for a custom log path for your RKE2 logs by updating the infra.pod_log_path parameter in the cluster_config.json file. Previously, you could not change the /var/log/pods default log path.

Note, however, that updating the default path discards the logs in /var/log/pods.

Improved sf-logs cleanup process

We have improved the cleanup process for the logs stored in the sf-logs bucket. A retry logic is added to the s3cmd delete command to ensure the full deletion even in case of initial failure. Additionally, the cleanup script is enhanced to delete all logs older than the specified deletion day when the cleanup cronjob is active for a particular day.

For more on the the cleanup script, see How to clean up old logs stored in the sf-logs bundle.

Log-level enhancement for ArgoCD

We have implemented an update to ArgoCD logging. Now, the log-level is set to Info by default. Previously, you had to manually change the log-level.

Bug fixes

• We have fixed an issue related to false positive CephMgrIsAbsent storage alerts. The alerts were displayed even though there were no storage issues. The behavior no longer occurs.

• Ceph metrics and alerts were missing from the monitoring dashboard. The behavior no longer occur.

• An issue was causing excessive alert emails after unexpected node restarts. We have fixed the issue by automatically managing and terminating orphaned jobs.

• We have fixed an issue causing the credential manager to incorrectly set the uipath-service secrets to blank.

Deprecation timeline

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