vmagent does not recognise -licence flag

[quanghungb]

The VM operators created a sts from a VMagent CRD with following spec (https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/api/#vmagentspec)

apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMAgent
metadata:
  annotations:
    creationTimestamp: "2024-06-26T13:54:26Z"
  finalizers:
  - apps.victoriametrics.com/finalizer
  generation: 3
  labels:
    name: name
  namespace: victoriametrics
  spec:

   license:
     key: PM..

The sts contains all the information provided by the VMAgent but there 2 lines of - license= in the args section for the container vmagent

...
 - args:
        - -httpListenAddr=:8429
        - -license=PM..
        - -license=PM..
        - -promscrape.config=/etc/vmagent/config_out/vmagent.env.yaml
...

But the most annoying part is the pod is in CrashLoopBackOff status as the vmagent container does not start due to this error

- containerID: containerd://046d4d85d62373b620655b750cdb0856a01ed974ef9dd76cf9bb6da0a9af1507

          vmagent collects metrics data via popular data ingestion protocols and routes it to VictoriaMetrics.

          See the docs at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmagent/ .

          Run "/vmagent-prod -help" in order to see the description for all the available flags
        reason: Error
        startedAt: "2024-06-26T16:31:56Z"
    name: vmagent

Ofc without the license in the spec of the VMAgent, the vmagent pod starts correctly. What could be wrong here?

Hello,

It's possible to use license only with versions that have -enterprise suffix.

Try to change image.tag for vmagent to v1.101.0-enterprise

kind: VMAgent
spec:
 image:
  tag: v1.101.0-enterprise
