Ticket number: PMM-15274

Feature build: SUBMODULES-4549

When updates are turned off, PMM showed a red "PMM updates are disabled" toast on whatever page you happened to be on, for example Inventory. The UI asks the server to check for updates on every page load, even when the server is set up to refuse. The server replies with a 400, and our global error handler turns any 400 into a red toast. The UI then quietly retries and asks only for the installed version, which works, so nothing was really broken. The toast was just noise from a request we should never have sent.

The fix

Stop sending that request. When updates are disabled the UI now asks only for the installed version, which the server always answers. Nothing changes when updates are enabled.

A second commit fixes a small bug in the same spot. When no check has ever run the server sends no last_check, and the footer printed "Last checked: Invalid Date NaN, NaN, NaN:NaN UTC" on every page. Now it just shows the version.

The "Upgrades are disabled" card on the Updates page is left alone on purpose. Making that message accurate, and greying out the toggle in Settings, needs a new API field and is covered by PMM-9042.

Why this is not an HA bug

The ticket is filed under HA, but this happens whenever updates are off, and any deployment can do that, either with PMM_ENABLE_UPDATES=0 or by an admin unticking Updates in PMM Settings. There is no HA specific code anywhere in this path.

HA is only where we found it, because the Helm chart used to set PMM_ENABLE_UPDATES: "0" by default, so every HA tester ran into it. The same problem was reported on plain Docker in PMM-9042 back in 2021, before PMM had HA at all.

UpdatesProvider is mounted app-wide, so every admin page load fired a
full update check. Where updates are turned off, pmm-managed answers
that with FailedPrecondition, and the global axios interceptor turns
any 4xx into an error toast. The result was a red "PMM updates are
disabled" toast on unrelated pages such as Inventory, even though the
hook silently recovered through its installed-version fallback.

Ask only for the installed version when updates are disabled, and hold
the query until settings have loaded so the two cannot race. The full
check now also opts out of notifications, since the hook recovers from
that failure itself.
When no update check has run, the API omits last_check. The footer fed
the literal string "N/A" into new Date(), so every page rendered "Last
checked: Invalid Date NaN, NaN, NaN:NaN UTC". Show the version on its
own in that case.

Walkthrough

The update flow supports installed-only checks when updates are disabled, retries eligible failures, waits for settings, and omits footer check-status text when no check date exists.

Changes

Update checks and footer status

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update check API and hook
ui/apps/pmm/src/api/updates.ts, ui/apps/pmm/src/hooks/api/useUpdates.tsx, ui/apps/pmm/src/hooks/api/useUpdates.test.tsx
checkForUpdates accepts request configuration. useCheckUpdates supports installed-only requests, status-based notification suppression, and fallback retries. Tests cover successful checks, fallback handling, and unauthorized errors.
Provider settings and update behavior
ui/apps/pmm/src/contexts/updates/updates.provider.tsx, ui/apps/pmm/src/contexts/updates/updates.provider.test.tsx
The provider waits for settings loading to finish and requests installed-version data when updates are disabled. Tests cover disabled updates, settings states, fallback requests, and error notifications.
Footer check-status rendering
ui/apps/pmm/src/components/footer/Footer.tsx, ui/apps/pmm/src/components/footer/Footer.test.tsx
The footer renders check-status text only when an update is in progress or a check date exists. The test covers a missing check date.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1c04b

The change stops an unnecessary update-check request when updates are disabled and prevents an invalid last-checked date from appearing; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Explanation

The description includes the required ticket number and feature build, explains the problem and fix, identifies unchanged behavior, and documents related scope and exclusions. The changes alter client request behavior but do not add or alter an API endpoint, so the API documentation checkbox is not required.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

The previous commit suppressed notifications for the whole update check,
on the reasoning that the fallback recovers from it. That was too broad.
Once the provider stops asking for a full check on disabled deployments,
the only errors reaching this call are real ones, and the fallback hides
them: it asks for the installed version, which the server answers before
it ever consults the version service, so it succeeds no matter what went
wrong.

An air-gapped server that cannot reach the version service would have
failed silently, where it used to say so. Suppress only the 400 that
means updates are disabled, and let anything else through.
Holding the update check until settings were present closed a cold-load
race, but it also made the check depend on that request succeeding. The
query client sets retry to false and does not refetch on window focus,
so a single failed settings request left the value null for the rest of
the session, the check never ran, and the footer dropped the PMM version
from every page.

Gate on settings having settled rather than having succeeded. The race
stays closed, and a failed load falls back to the previous behaviour
instead of blocking forever.

Comment thread ui/apps/pmm/src/hooks/api/useUpdates.tsx Outdated
grpc-gateway maps more than one gRPC code onto HTTP 400. Besides the
FailedPrecondition that means updates are disabled, the same endpoint
answers a rejected query parameter with InvalidArgument, also as a 400.
Matching on the status alone would have swallowed that too.

Check the gRPC code in the body as well, so only the disabled response
stays quiet.
