17 August 2020 Release Notes

Version 1.1.179

Feature Highlights

Stay tuned for new DataKitchen features in coming releases!

Other Fixes & Enhancements

Refresh Removed from Agent Status Function: The Agent Status function in the top, black menu bar has been modified in this release. The system no longer polls agents for resource data at 30-second intervals, and the Agent Online popup box no longer offers a refresh button. Instead, the system refreshes the resource data on demand at the time a user clicks the Agent Status icon to open the popup. [DEV-6808]

Warning

Agent Down Failures: The changes here result in Run Variation buttons being available at all times, even when an agent may not be ready to support an order run. While this scenario is rare, an order could fail with no useful feedback as to the cause. DataKitchen developers continue to work on agent-related features, and a coming release will address this gap, providing robust health checks and user messaging.

Orders Delete without Error: Recently, users found that when deleting an order via the web app, the system would display an error message. The order was deleted properly despite the error and was removed on page refresh. This issue has been resolved, and the delete function works as expected. [DEV-6794]

New System Variable Added: This release introduces the Agent system variable. This variable is compiled at runtime and resolves to the host name of the Kubernetes agent node where the recipe runs. It will be used in the future to increase agent visibility in logs and elsewhere in the platform. See System Variables Reference for more information. [DEV-4092]
