OpenBots Server v1.2.0 Release Notes
[New Features]
  • OpenBots Server
    • Process/Automations
      • Renamed Process component to Automations throughout the Server for clarity.
      • Added Automation Engine property to determine whether OpenBots or Python should be utilized for execution.
    • Additional APIs
      • The following APIs have been implemented on the Server, but are pending a proper front-end component. This is expected to be completed for all APIs by the following major update.
      • Job Parameters
        • Jobs are now able to be provided with a set of parameters on startup. These parameters will be utilized as initial argument in OpenBots and Python execution in future updates.
      • Job Checkpoints
        • Allows for the reporting of major event occurrences during job execution. Corresponding commands will be added in the next major update.
    • Webhooks/Integration Events
      • Integration events have been placed throughout the server functionality and can be viewed along with their notification messages.
      • Users can add subscriptions that will receive alerts when these events trigger.
    • Email Component
      • The Email component allows for the storage and usage of email accounts on the server. Automations can utilize stored accounts by name to send emails, with logs retained by the server.
    • Configuration Component
      • Added a proper front-end component for the server configuration, allowing for administrators to adjust the various parameters.
    • IP Fencing
      • Administrators are now able to specify a set of rules to restrict access to the server.
      • Supported rules are specific IPV4/IPV6 addresses, IPV4/IPV6 ranges, and HTTP headers.
[Fixes]
  • OpenBots Server
    • Agent Heartbeats
      • Agent heartbeats have been separated from the Agent and will therefore no longer incur audit logs on each heartbeat. A table of recent heartbeats can be viewed on the Agent details page.
    • Component Descriptions
      • Adjusted component descriptions to remove found typos.
    • Credential Date Validation
      • The defined end date is now required to be greater than the start date when creating or editing credentials.
    • Change Logs
      • Corrected captured information for credentials operations.
[Known Issues]
  • OpenBots Server
    • Timestamps are currently reported in UTC rather than the end-users local timezone.
    • When setting a custom hostname for the Server the default IP Fencing rules will not initially allow access. To set a custom binding complete the initial installation with localhost as the binding and perform the standard swap in IIS.
    • The nomenclature change from Processes to Automations came with an entity swap, and processes will need to be re-uploaded as automation to account for this.
