Updated

.

Understanding the IQ Server Product Version Format

IQ Server is versioned using a release version identifier which is incremented sequentially each and every customer release.

Example: 168 ,169, 170, etc.

The release version is embedded as the second component of the IQ Server full product version:

{major version}.{RELEASE VERSION}.{patch version}-{build number}

When reporting issues about IQ Server, typically only the release number is required.

 

How to find IQ Server version using a web browser

  1. Visit your organization's Sonatype Lifecycle IQ Server url in a supported web browser.
  2. Login when prompted with valid credentials.
  3. Locate the release version at the left side bottom of the page.

How to find IQ Server version using HTTP Response Server Header

HTTP responses from IQ Server include a "Server" header that contains the full product version.

The Server header value has this format:

{product http name}/{major version}.{release version}.{minor version}-{build number}

Using an HTTP client such as curl, make the following type of request from the command line:

curl -sSkI http://localhost:8070/ping
  • replace http://localhost:8070 with your own IQ Server base URL
  • /ping is an endpoint that requires no authentication

Example response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2024 15:11:09 GMT
Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
Server: NexusIQ/1.170.0-01
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Cache-Control: must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 5

In this example, the Server header reports these values:

HTTP Name: NexusIQ

Full product version: 1.170.0-01 

Major version: 1

Release version: 170

Patch version: 0

Build number: 01
