ARTIFACTORY: Understanding Version Services of Artifactory

Starting from Artifactory 7.39.10, we should take into consideration both the product (i.e., Artifactory Release) and the Microservice version.

Product Version

We may observe the Product Version in four different ways:

1.The Product Version appears on the UI in the Service Status section:

2. With a curl command:

          curl -u<username>:<password> http://<Artifactory_URL>/artifactory/api/system/version
    {
          "version" : "7.49.5",
          "revision" : "74905900",
…..
    }

3. On the file located at your Artifactory machine: $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/app/artifactory.product.version.properties

artifactory.product.version=7.49.5
artifactory.product.revision=74905900
artifactory.product.timestamp=20230110201953
artifactory.product.buildNumber=7.49.5-20230110201953-1

4. On the following log, when starting Artifactory:

$JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/log/artifactory-service.log

Artifactory Microservice Version

To observe all the microservices versions, please look at the UI in the Service Status section:

User-added image

Out of all the microservices described above, the confusing one might be the version of the Artifactory service.
To distinguish between the Product Version and the Artifactory Service Version, there are another three ways except for the UI:

1. On the file located at your Artifactory machine: /var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/etc/artifactory/artifactory.properties

artifactory.version=7.49.4
artifactory.revision=74904900
artifactory.timestamp=LOCAL
artifactory.buildNumber=LOCAL

2. On the following log, when starting Artifactory: $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/log/artifactory-service.log

To clarify that, for example, on the Artifactory Release 7.49.5, the Product Version is 7.49.5, and the Artifactory Server Version is 7.49.4.

3. With a curl command:

           curl -u<username>:<password> http://<Artifactory_URL>/artifactory/api/system/nodes
    {
          "nodes" : [ {
                ….
                "version" : "7.49.4",
                ….
          } ]
    }

Summary

To summarize, the knowledge base emphasized distinguishing between the Product Version (Artifactory Release) and the versions of the microservices, including the Artifactory Service Version, which is different from the Product Version.
