Bug Fixes

  • Not the Silent Deep: chef-automate backup delete command no longer silently fails to delete backups.
  • Clear-cutting: Internal request logs were being written to disk without log rotation. No more! Our fix cleans up any instances of these logs that have been left around.
  • The Client-run Export now has:
    • Corrected behavior of Total Resource Count to provide correct values.
    • Removed fields that should not be associated with a node.
  • Clear Away: Node credential validation used to wrongly display an error, but we worked it out.
  • Resolved: A Compliance report export error when exporting larger reports is now fixed.
  • Can't Click That: Disabled buttons no longer act as clickable on mouse-over.
