I did a quick test in my environment and continuous audits works in both master and stable/2024.2 branches. I was also using the dashboard from master branch for both tests.

I created Audits using an audit template as shared, with dummy with scorer strategy. The audit went to the ONGOING state right away, and proposed an action plan.

@Mohd you may want to check the details of your Audits to get more info about Created Date and Next Run Time (the later may be only available using the python-watcherclient)

For reference in my env:
watcher stable/2024.2:
56dae607 (HEAD -> stable/2024.2, origin/stable/2024.2) [stable-only] Consolidate and improve Zuul CI job definitions
watcher master:
1d32e734 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Retry calls to nova API when connection errors are detected
watcher-dashboard master:

aaebb77 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Merge "Adopt Ruff for security; remove Bandit and fix style"

Att,

adding `[watcher]` tag to subject

im on pto for another 2 weeks or so but ill highlight it to others.

2023.1 is EOL but if you report a bug we can see if it reproduces on master
and fix it on the supported stable branches if viable.

we have fixed quite a few bugs in the 2025.1 and 2025.2 release that may
have been related.
