v5.4.9 Release Notes
Release Date: Aug 9 2022 | Compatible Plugin API version: 0.12.6 | Compatible Morpheus Worker version: 5.4.8
| IMPORTANT! Morpheus 5.4.9 adds the “Provisioning: State” Role permission. This permission determines access to the State tab for Terraform-backed Instances and is set to “None” by default. On upgrade, only System Admin users will be able to see the State tab for these Instances. For other users who should have this access, edit their Roles to include “Provisioning: State” permissions. |

New Features
API & CLI
- Updating Kubernetes Clusters via Morpheus API or CLI now allows toggling the “Managed” attribute or adding an “API Token” value as you can already through Morpheus UI. 5.5.2
Azure
- Azure workloads can now be provisioned to different regions from the resource group (if desired) as you can from the Azure web console. 5.5.2
Clouds
- Added ability to associate existing VMs (Infrastructure > Compute > Virtual Machines) to different Clouds. NOTE: This is not a migration tool. Once a workload has been moved to a new Cloud, use this functionality to associate the existing managed VM record to the new Cloud and wipe out the newly discovered unmanaged VM record. This preserves the original VM record and associated historical data while recognizing the new Cloud and continuing monitoring operations from the new VM 5.5.2
Google Cloud (GCP)
- Cloud sync for GCP Clouds is no longer interrupted when Projects are disabled or do not have API access granted. 5.5.2
Network
- Network labels (display names) are now editable from the Network tab of the Instance detail page.
Plans and Pricing
- Added capability to export Service Plans list as a CSV document (Administration > Plans & Pricing > Plans). 5.5.2
PowerDNS
- PowerDNS integrations now include the “Create Pointers” option to automatically create reverse records as other DNS integrations currently do. 5.5.2
Roles
- “Provisioning: State” role permission added to control access to the State tab on Terraform Instance detail pages. IMPORTANT: This permission is “None” by default for all users other than System Admins. Following upgrade, users which are not System Admins will no longer have access to the State tab. Role permissions will need to be updated for all users which need access to the State tab. 5.5.2
Rubrik
- Rubrik integration settings are updated to remove username and password fields and replace them with an API key field. Existing integrations will continue to work unless upgraded to the latest Rubrik versions which require MFA to be enabled. 5.5.2
Security
- Velocity templates upgraded to 2.3 (CVE-2022-13936). 5.5.2
- aws-java-sdk-s3 upgraded to version 1.12.261 (CVE-2022-31159). 5.5.2

- mysql-connector-java upgraded to 8.0.28 (CVE-2022-21363). 5.5.2
- xmlsec upgraded to 2.2.3 (CVE-2021-40690). 5.5.2
vCloud Director
- VMs for multi-node vCD Instances are now created within the same vApp on the vCD side. Previously, a separate vApp was created for each VM. 5.5.2
Fixes
API & CLI
- Fixed an issue that caused OpenStack, Huawei, and OTC Clouds created via Morpheus API and CLI not to work properly. 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that prevented adding deployment versions of type “fetch” using the no prompt approach and specifying the fetch URL option in the command. 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that prevented upload of Virtual Images of type azure-reference via Morpheus CLI. 5.5.2
- Tags can now be added normally via Morpheus API and CLI to Instances added by provisioning an App Blueprint. Previously, these needed to be passed via the customOption block in an update JSON block. 5.5.2
- When creating Azure Resource Pools via Morpheus API, the inventory flag now defaults to true to minimize confusion. 5.5.2
Amazon
- Users can now successfully provision to AWS Clouds when Service Control Policies for Tagging are set in AWS. 5.5.2
Ansible Tower
- Ansible Tower Tasks and Workflows can now be run against the server context. Previously they could only be run against the Instance context. 5.5.2
Ansible
- Ansible Tasks and Workflows now use the ‘/var/opt/morpheus/morpheus-local/workspace’ directory instead of ‘/var/opt/morpheus/morpheus-ui/workspace’. 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that caused App provisioning to fail if the Ansible command options field was locked on the App Blueprint. 5.5.2
- When Morpheus Agent is installed but the command bus is not used, Morpheus will now use the SSH username and keypair. 5.5.2
Automation Scale Thresholds
- Fixed an issue that could cause Scale Thresholds to repeatedly create and destroy VMs under certain configurations. 5.5.2
Automation Tasks
- Fixed an issue that prevented users from creating or editing Tasks if they did not have “Infrastructure: Credentials” permissions set to Full on their Roles. 5.5.2
- When a Task is referencing a file tracked in a Github repository that does not exist, the Task detail page can now be viewed rather than a 403 error page being displayed. 5.5.2
- When selecting many Instances or servers (typically around 15 or more), and running a Task or Workflow against them, the desired automation is now run on all selected workloads rather than just some. 5.5.2
Azure
- Azure Clouds no longer lose their scope (Resource Group and Region) when updating the Client Secret used to authenticate the Cloud. 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that caused a Cloud costing refresh for a previous month to raise invoice amounts, which required costing to be rebuilt to be accurate once again. 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that prevented creating a new Azure Load Balancer to associate with an Instance if one was created at provision time and later removed via the Instance detail page. 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that prevented setting destination ports on Azure Security Groups (NSGs). 5.5.2
- Fixed an issue that preventing costing sync from ever completing for very large Azure Clouds. 5.5.2

Blueprints
- App Blueprints can no longer be saved with identical names to other App Blueprints by pre-pending them with leading whitespace characters (which would be automatically removed after the validation step). 5.5.2
- App Blueprints which currently have Apps deployed from them can no longer be deleted. UI messages are surfaced to inform the user why the App Blueprint cannot be deleted. 5.5.2
Buckets

- Fixed some odd behavior that could arise for Inputs in Service Catalog items depending on the interaction between dependent, visibility, and required settings related to other Input values. 5.5.2
- The “More” button near the bottom of the Executions tab on the Catalog Inventory page now expands as expected. 5.5.2
- When editing an existing Service Catalog item that uses a Morpheus-included logo, the saved logo no longer disappears from the Edit Catalog Item modal. 5.5.2
- Workflow-based Service Catalog items no longer have potential to hang when multiple typeahead Input values are selected. 5.5.2
