CloudBees CI on modern cloud platforms 2.440.3.8

The following plugins have been added to the Operations center CloudBees Assurance Program since 2.440.2.1:

The following plugins have been added to the Controller CloudBees Assurance Program since 2.440.2.1:

The publishIssues step returned an exception when run outside of any node block (that is, when not using an agent). This is now fixed and it can again be used in any context.

After reconfiguring a static inbound agent in the GUI using fields such as WebSocket deprecated in 2.440.x, the suggested launch instructions would incorrectly include -tunnel (with no argument) even if that field had been left blank.

When you try to add a CyberArk credential or Hashicorp Vault credential from the Add button of a credentials form, it fails with the error Domain is read-only and the credential is not created. The workaround is to create the those types of credentials from the Manage Jenkins > Credentials page for root credentials or a Folder Credentials page for folder credentials.

New Configuration as Code bundle versions installing new plugins cannot be reloaded. An error appears and the new bundle is not applied. If the Configuration as Code bundle has new plugins to install, the instance must be restarted.

Failed parsing of data from the User Activity Monitoring plugin will overwrite the user activity database. All user activity data that is logged up to that point in time is lost, in order to avoid this, refer to this knowledge base article Why is my user activity missing?.

Due to known issues in the Java HTTP Client, there could be performance issues in operations center to controller interactions in heavily loaded environments.

If a shared cloud (as opposed to a single agent) was defined in 2.426.x (or earlier) with an inbound launcher and a specific launch configuration, particularly the Use WebSocket checkbox (also tunnel and custom work dir settings), configuring and resaving that cloud in the GUI in 2.440.x will silently drop that configuration, potentially breaking a working setup.

When using credentials in the Kubernetes Cluster Endpoints configuration, the Validate functionality shows an Angry Jenkins in the UI and a null pointer exception in Jenkins logs.

Certain options for the inbound agent launcher, particularly the checkbox for WebSocket, were removed from the configuration GUI in 2.440.x, in favor of passing the corresponding option such as -webSocket on the CLI. In the case of inbound shared agents or clouds, this did not suffice since the operations center was responsible for launching the cloned agent that connects to the controller. This makes it impossible to create new shared agents or clouds using WebSocket transport via GUI configuration.

The GitHub plugin configuration failed to load during the Operations center startup. Refer to GitHub Plugin settings not loaded on startup after upgrading for more information.

When you search for a specific plugin under the Available tab in the Operations center Plugin Manager, the search results show duplicate entries for the plugin.
