KBEC-00478 - How to find ancillary tools version in CloudBees CD

CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow) uses a set of ancillary tools to provide all the required functionality.

In this article we will depict some external component that CloudBees CD uses and how to find the specific version:

Environment

CloudBees CD (CloudBees Flow)

Resolution

CloudBees CD Web Server Components:

To check the Web Server component, such as Apache, PHP or OpenSSL version, you can access the URL https://yourCDServer/commander/info.php

CloudBees CD Server Components:

Java JDK: /opt/electriccloud/electriccommander/jre/bin/java --version
Java Service Wrapper: /opt/electriccloud/electriccommander/server/bin$ ./wrapper-linux-x86-64 --version

All CloudBees CD elements (Server, Web Server and Agents): Additional CloudBees CD components can be found in <COMMANDER_HOME>/bin.

ec-groovy: ./ec-groovy --version
- In order to execute ./ec-groovy you need to define your enviroments variables COMMANDER_HOME and COMMANDER_DATA.

export COMMANDER_HOME="/opt/electriccloud/electriccommander"
export COMMANDER_DATA="/opt/electriccloud/electriccommander"

ec-perl: ./ec-perl --version
ec-jruby: ./ec-jruby --version
openssl:
```
$ ./openssl
OpenSSL> version
```
Some other components depend on the CloudBees CD version and match with the current installed version in the system, all of them are named with the ec* name and the specific version can be found using ./ec* --version, for example: ./ectool --version.
