Automation Suite - 2024.10.3

Disaster Recovery – Active/Passive deployments

Erratum - added May 8, 2025: We are happy to announce that Disaster Recovery in Active/Passive configuration is now supported for Automation Suite on EKS.

Now you can configure Automation Suite in a way that can withstand the complete failure of nodes, entire data centers, or even regions.

Automation Suite deployments in Active/Passive mode support the following scenarios:

Same-region deployment
Cross-region deployment

For details, see Disaster Recovery – Active/Passive and Quick links.

Automation Suite Installer Wizard available in GA

We are excited to announce that the Automation Suite Installer Wizard, the new method for generating the Automation Suite input.json configuration file, is now generally available.

PostgreSQL for Process Mining Airflow database

For Process Mining on Automation Suite 2024.10.3, you can now choose to use PostgreSQL for the AutomationSuite_Airflow database. If you choose not to use PostgreSQL and keep using Microsoft SQLServer, Process Mining on Automation Suite 2024.10.3 will run with a legacy version of Airflow.

Refer to SQL Requirements for Process Mining for more information on how to set up a PostgreSQL AutomationSuite_Airflow metadatabase.

Important:

You are recommended to move to PostgreSQL for the Airflow database, as PostgreSQL runs with the latest versions of Apache Airflow. Latest versions of Apache Airflow have various functionality, performance, and security fixes that older versions lack.

Removed Dapr dependency for Process Mining

Starting with Automation Suite 2024.10.3, Process Mining will no longer have a dependency on Dapr.

Task-Mining, however, will still continue to have a dependency on Dapr.

If you are installing Automation Suite where Process Mining is enabled and Task Mining is not enabled, then the Dapr application will not be installed.

In case of an Automation Suite upgrade where Process Mining is enabled and Task Mining is not enabled, then the Dapr application will be automatically uninstalled if it was installed by Automation Suite installer. If Dapr was user managed (installed by user), then Dapr should be uninstalled manually. For more details, refer to the Uninstalling Dapr section.

Additional custom CA certificate support

You can include any additional custom CA certificate by providing the additonal_ca_certs key with the external CA certificate path in the input.json file.

Enhanced telemetry

Enhanced Automation Suite with a high-level summarized usage telemetry feature, provided guidance on viewing the generated XML file, and added telemetry sharing with UiPath Support via the Customer Portal.

Istio HSTS enabled by default

To enhance security, Istio HSTS is now enabled by default.

uipathctl improvements

You can now list all the available options for the included and excluded flags when running the prerequisite checks command. For more details about --list-options, refer to the uipathctl reference guide.
For better eficiency, the diagnostic checks are no longer executed during the bundle creation process. Previously, a health check was performed by default during the support bundle creation, requiring the explicit use of the --skip-diagnose flag to bypass it. For more details on how to run the diagnostic checks, refer to the uipathctl reference guide.

Bug fixes

Due to an incorrect version of intsvcs/oauth-token-refresh configured at the services level, the OAuth token refresh job attempted to fetch a version that is not available in the UiPath offline registry. This led to issues during execution. This is now fixed.

Known issues

Log streaming does not work in proxy setups

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: Log forwarding does not work in proxy setups because the proxy environment variables were not set in the logging pods. To address the issue, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2024.10.4.

Deployment issue on shared EKS clusters with custom namespace

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: An issue causes the Automation Suite deployment on a shared EKS cluster to fail if the target namespace is not uipath. This issue is due to the network policy incorrectly expecting the presence of a uipath namespace regardless of the chosen namespace.

To address the issue, you must manually create a uipath namespace before deploying Automation Suite.

We have fixed this issue in Automation Suite 2024.10.4.

Kubernetes upgrade failure

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: An issue causes the Kubernetes upgrade to fail due to an incorrect configuration in Integration Service. The upgrade failure triggers the following error message: Cannot evict pod as it would violate the Pod’s disruption budget.

To address the issue, you must increase the replica count of intsvcs-periodicdeployment using the following command:

kubectl scale deployment intsvcs-periodic --replicas=2 -n  uipathkubectl scale deployment intsvcs-periodic --replicas=2 -n  uipath

We have fixed this issue in Automation Suite 2024.10.4.

Licensing SQL connection error

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: Licensing SQL connection errors occur when the Data Source property specified both a named instance and a port.

We fixed the issue in Automation Suite 2024.10.4.

Service disruptions due to automatic secret rotation

Erratum - added June 26, 2025: To address this issue, you can edit the input.json file to disable secret rotation in the platform configuration. This change will persist through Automation Suite upgrades and reinstalls.

Take the following steps:

Update the platform section in the input.json file as shown in the following example:

"platform": {
  "enabled": true,
  "advanced_configuration": {
    "identity-service": {
      "secretRotation": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}"platform": {
  "enabled": true,
  "advanced_configuration": {
    "identity-service": {
      "secretRotation": {
        "enabled": false
      }
    }
  }
}

After applying this configuration, you must reinstall your Automation Suite deployment to ensure the change takes effect:
```
uipathctl manifest apply input.json --versions versions.jsonuipathctl manifest apply input.json --versions versions.json
```

Erratum - added May 14, 2025: An issue causes service disruptions due to the automatic secret rotation, making services temporarily inaccessible.

To address this issue, take the following steps:

Restart the affected service to restore its normal functionality.
Navigate to the ArgoCD UI and from the platform applicatio, select Details > Parameters. Edit the values to add "secretRotation: enabled: false" under identity-service. You must take this step after each Automation Suite upgrade or reinstallation.

For AI Center, all skills must be stopped and started from AI Center UI.

Monitoring application stuck in Progressing state

After service installation, the monitoring application may remain in a Progressing state in ArgoCD.

To address this issue, you must manually sync the monitoring application with the Replace option:

In the ArgoCD UI, go to the monitoring application in the argocd namespace.
Sync the application manually with the Replace option selected.

Deprecation timeline

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