Known Issues

23.12 Agent Known Issues

There are no known issues yet for the 23.12 agent releases.

23.12 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.

23.12 SaaS Controller Known Issues

There are no known issues yet for the SaaS Controller 23.12 releases.
