How to query the Kapacitor version using the CLI, and how to determine version of a PR

[teedilo]

I'm trying the "kapacitor version" command as documented in the help, but I'm just getting "Kapacitor (git: )" in the command response:

[ec2-user@ip-10-103-37-72 kapacitor]$ kapacitor version
Kapacitor (git: )

Secondly, I'm actually trying to use the change in https://github.com/influxdata/kapacitor/pull/1314/files. I think it may have been working at one time but it's not any longer. Probably a noob question, but how can I tell the version of Kapacitor that includes this PR?

Thanks.

@teedilo If the kapacitor version is empty then its likely a manually compiled binary since the version tags were not specified in the build.

You can query the server version using kapacitor stats general.

Based on the changelog from that PR #1314 the changes are in the latest 1.3.3 release.

Thanks. kapacitor stats general returned the info below. I'm still not seeing a version, but maybe that's as expected if we are using a manually compiled binary. Hmmm..

(Oops. Forgot to include the output from the command.)

[ec2-user@ip-10-103-37-72 kapacitor]$ kapacitor stats general ClusterID: d97e9daa-42f9-4d70-b77e-b833486b8a13 ServerID: da6e875b-9ec0-4f7b-891a-9899bb6bf450 Host: 0.0.0.0 Tasks: 10 Enabled Tasks: 10 Subscriptions: 3 Version:
Thanks for the info on the change log for the PR.

One more question... The download page for Kapacitor says v1.3.1. Does that mean that v1.3.3 is not yet generally available? Thanks.
