New Features
- CloudBees Pipeline Explorer
-
The CloudBees Pipeline Explorer offers a streamlined approach to troubleshoot pipelines and view logs. This plugin was developed with a focus on performance to improve your experience for log viewing whether your log files are 5MB or 500MB.
The Pipeline Explorer can visualize the stages of your pipelines in a tree view that gives the ability to filter logs by stages. The log viewport is customizable by user preferences for line numbers, to display ANSI colors from the log text, word wrapping, and custom time formats for timestamps.
The Pipeline Explorer also provides a search feature, permitted through RBAC, so that users can search large files without leaving the Pipeline Explorer interface.
For more information, read the documentation about CloudBees Pipeline Explorer.
Resolved Issues
- The
cloudbees-analyticsplugin included libraries that were not needed at runtime -
These libraries are no longer bundled and this reduces the size of the plugin.
- Organization Scan hangs when checking for private mode because the GitHub anonymous query limit was reached
-
The anonymous query to check for private mode is now cached.
- Jenkins has switched from
javax.injecttojakarta.inject; plugin updates for compatibility -
The code for the
cloudbees-assurance,cloudbees-license,bluesteel, andoperations-center-licenseplugins were changed tojakarta.injectto remain compatible with new Jenkins versions.
- Performance issue on controller to operations center (OC) communication
-
When a high number of controllers try to connect to the OC simultaneously, there is a high number of threads created in the OC. That produces an overall slowness in any OC - controller communication.
This fix reduces the number of threads by sharing some object instances instead of creating new ones.
- Disabling the GitHub checks activated checkbox not accurately reflected in the UI
-
When users disabled the GitHub checks activated checkbox on the CloudBees CI Configure System page, the UI would still show it as activated.
This issue has been fixed. Additionally, if the user does not select GitHub from the SCM tool list, the checkbox does not appear.
- The plugin catalog validation returns warnings for legitimate errors
-
When the plugin catalog is validated and any issue is detected, the warning message is marked as an error and the bundle is marked as invalid preventing the controller from crashing when the bundle is applied.
This issue is resolved.
- Deadlock in the controller connection cycle preventing the operations center to start
-
There was a potential deadlock during the controller connection process to the operations center. This is now resolved.
- Check for newer license button is now hidden on Manage License page when license is managed by an Operations Center
-
When a controller license is managed by an operations center, the Check for new license should not be visible.
This issue is resolved. The Check for a newer license button is hidden on the Manage License page if the license is managed by the operations center.
- Use an OpenID connect flow for single sign on
-
Historically, the single sign on functionality relied on remoting calls between operations center and controllers. It has been rewritten to use a more standard OpenID connect flow. No migration action is expected, this is a drop in replacement.
Known Issues
- Older versions of controllers cannot start after receiving new bundle versions
-
When the operations center sends new bundle versions to controllers older than 2.401.1.3, the controller cannot start.
This issue does not affect controllers in version 2.401.1.3 or newer.
There are three ways to fix the issue: * Upgrade all controllers to version 2.401.1.3 or newer. * Stop configuring controllers in versions prior to 2.401.1.3 using CasC. * Install a Plugin Catalog on the operations center with a beekeeper exception to install
cloudbees-casc-server:2.5.1. The Plugin Catalog can be enabled in operations center by setting the system propertyDcom.cloudbees.jenkins.cjp.installmanager.CJPPluginManager.enablePluginCatalogInOC=true.

- Pipeline Explorer’s tree view displays stages in the wrong order and/or more than once in some cases
-
The tree view for in-progress builds with nested parallel steps may display some stages in the wrong order, and it may display some stages more than once.
- Duplicate Pipeline Template Catalogs in the Configuration as Code (CasC) for Controllers
jenkins.yamlfile on each instance restart -
If a Pipeline Template Catalog is configured in the CasC
jenkins.yamlfile and theidproperty is not defined, the catalog is duplicated on each instance restart and in the exported CasC configuration.
