Known Issues
23.11 Agent Known Issues
| Agent | Summary |
|---|---|
| Hosted Synthetic Agent | Some pages fail to return their Visually Complete Time and visually complete screenshots. This issue occurs when you create scripted jobs using Chrome version 117. |
The Visually Complete Time is not captured for webpages that have less load. Also, visually complete screenshots are not displayed for these webpages. | |
| IBM Integration Bus Agent | The 23.11 agent does not report metrics to Controller versions 23.9 and 23.11. We recommend upgrading to Controller 23.12. Alternatively, you can upgrade the IIB agent to version 24.2.0. |
| Java Agent | The agent reports too many events to the Controller which causes the Controller to drop events randomly. We recommend upgrading to Java Agent 23.12.0 to resolve this issue. |
23.11 SaaS Controller Known Issues
There are no known issues yet for the SaaS Controller 23.11 releases.
23.11 Agent Management Known Issues
- When you enter a search criteria in the Search field on the Agent Management page, the search is performed only on the page that is currently displayed instead of the entire list of agents.
- The status of Smart Agent is not displayed correctly on the Agent Management page. If the Smart Agent is inactive, it is still visible on the Agent Management UI. If you trigger any deployment on the inactive Smart Agent, the task gets terminated.
You can view the status of the task in the log file under Task In Progress or History on the Agent Management UI. - The container node reuse feature is not supported for any agent.
Even though the Smart Agent upgrade is unavailable for Smart Agent < 24.4, the Upgrade action under Smart Agents tab is enabled. Therefore, the upgrade flow will fail only after the task is initiated.
