How to Check Previous Ansible Automation Platform Operator Versions and Installation Dates in OpenShift

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Ansible Automation Platform 2.x Operator
  • Red Hat OpenShift 4.x

Issue

  • The OpenShift Console only shows the current AAP operator version and the date when it was installed. How can we find the exact older AAP operator versions and their installation dates?

Resolution

  • Use the following oc command to find the older AAP operator versions installed in a particular namespace:

    $oc get installplan -n aap | more
install-94gjn   aap-operator.v2.4.0-0.1720482179   Manual     true
install-fkgnj   aap-operator.v2.4.0-0.1711590540   Manual     true
install-llr64   aap-operator.v2.4.0-0.1717558474   Manual     true
install-ngkln   aap-operator.v2.4.0-0.1718152210   Manual     true
    • The above command shows the current and all the previous operator versions installed in the "aap" namespace. Please change the namespace name as per your environment.

  • To get the exact date when the particular operator version was installed, use the following command:

    $ oc get installplan install-fkgnj -o json | jq -r .metadata.creationTimestamp
2024-04-02T20:59:48Z

    Note: Replace the install plan name with the one in your AAP deployment.

Root Cause

  • There is no easy way to determine the previously installed AAP operators versions using the OpenShift console. Please use the oc command line tool to get the exact information.
