@carct can you send your agent diag logs to me? you can send me the whole _diag
folder, i would like to check and understand why the agent goes offline at the first place.
my email: tihuang @ microsoft.com
@carct i have read through your logs, here is what i found. the log file name is the UTC time of the file been created.
Agent_20180608-101602-utc.log
shows you configure the agent successfully, and you configure the agent run as service.Agent_20180608-101611-utc.log
shows your agent is online from [2018-06-08 10:16:17Z INFO Terminal] WRITE LINE: 2018-06-08 10:16:17Z: Listening for Jobs

5.log file Agent_20180608-120947-utc.log
shows you start unconfigure the agent.Agent_20180608-123732-utc.log
shows you start configure the agent, but you configure the agent as ROOT
, when you configure the agent through config.sh
, the script should block you from configuring as root. So how did you configure the agent, why you need to configure it as ROOT
?./svc.sh install
you installed the service as you, so when the agent actually running, it run as you, and it doesn't have permission to read file created by ROOT
.Are you running the agent inside a docker container? otherwise i can't think any environment that will cause agent shutdown so frequently.
Hi,
No special need of root, I got to use it like that as it didn't work without (I know from previous setup it actually doesn't require the root, but another user). used command: sudo ./bin/Agent.Listener configure --url https://*my-url*.visualstudio.com/ --agent myagentname --pool mypool --auth PAT --token mytoken --acceptTeeEula --work _work --nostart
In the past I have used this without root as required - too bad I didn't save the output that made my try this time with root. :(
Agent is inside a VM direclty, it isn't containerized and the VM is not crashing or anything like that. I have confirmation that nobody interacted with the VM / agent.
Btw, is it possible that the agent auto-updated without sending willingly from VSTS Portal (Agent Pool page) the updates on it ? I didn't see any update-related settings over there, just to send the update over, did i miss anything ?
Should I try to re-download and re-configure entirely the VSTS agent ? I see that over the weekend the agent is still green and online in the pool as expected.
PS: we're now experiencing some docker related issues, might be due to this set-up with root thing(?!): 2018-06-11T08:49:37.0684402Z ##[error]Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.26/build?buildargs=%7B%7D&buildbinds=null&cachefrom=%5B]&cgroupparent=&cpuperiod=0&cpuquota=0&cpusetcpus=&cpusetmems=&cpushares=0&dockerfile=Dockerfile-spec-env&labels=%7B%7D&memory=0&memswap=0&networkmode=default&rm=1&shmsize=0&t=artifactory.*mydomain*.com%3A6000%2F*myimage*%3A*myimageversion*&t=artifactory.*mydomain*.com%3A6000%2F*myimage*&ulimits=null: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied 2018-06-11T08:49:37.0785856Z ##[debug]Processed: ##vso[task.issue type=error;]Got permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket at unix:///var/run/docker.sock: Post http://%2Fvar%2Frun%2Fdocker.sock/v1.26/build?buildargs=%7B%7D&buildbinds=null&cachefrom=%5B%5D&cgroupparent=&cpuperiod=0&cpuquota=0&cpusetcpus=&cpusetmems=&cpushares=0&dockerfile=Dockerfile-spec-env&labels=%7B%7D&memory=0&memswap=0&networkmode=default&rm=1&shmsize=0&t=artifactory.*mydomain*.com%3A6000%2F*myimage*%3A*myimageversion*&t=artifactory.*mydomain*.com%3A6000%2F*myimage*k&ulimits=null: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: connect: permission denied 2018-06-11T08:49:37.0879954Z ##[debug]task result: Failed
Thank you, A.
The agent will update if (1) invoked from portal or (2) a feature is used that demands a new agent. For example, if the service (which always moves forward) adds a feature which required changed in the agent, when it's used, we will pull the agent forward to that baseline. The automation workflow runs on the service and uses the agent worker as an extension to run nodes of the graph.
ok, that would indeed explain the newer version that i saw - strange that it kinda broke it though
@carct for the docker error, if you are using the one of the inbox task, you can log issue at the task repo: https://github.com/microsoft/vsts-tasks
when you setup machine, have you follow this instruction? https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/
BTW, is your original question got answered, are we good on closing the issue?
i am going to close this issue, please reopen if you need more help.
@TingluoHuang I think I experienced the same thing, with agents in two different servers. Probably relevant to say that both VSTS agents were installed through the Azure VM extension. Apparently the VSTS Agents were updated at the same time today (08/16 04:52 UTC), which is made very clear by an empty file called EXTENSIONUPDATE
inside the VSTSAgent####
folders, with the same timestamp as the newest VSTSAgent####
folders.
I did not trigger the update manually, and I can't think of what could have happened that required a new agent feature, as described by @bryanmacfarlane . I thought the numbers at the end of the VSTSAgent
folder might be a version identifier but the two folders created today are different, so maybe some sort of timestamp...?
Now, in both cases I see this at the end of the latest Agent_
log file inside the _diag
folder:

So evidently the PAT that would allow the agent to communicate with VSTS is not there, but I imagine that's unavoidable...? I provided one to the Azure VM extension when setting up the agent, but I assume it doesn't store it. So any update to the agents will break them and require that we restart or reconfigure them manually, providing another PAT?
And if that is the proper workaround for this issue, how would I have to about it?
And this is what I get if I try to start the service:
<my-user>@<my-server>:/VSTSAgent1534395152.047264$ sudo ./svc.sh start
Failed to start vsts.agent.<REDACTED>.service: Unit vsts.agent.<REDACTED>.service not found.
Failed: failed to start vsts.agent.<REDACTED>.service
Right, the PAT is used to interactively configure and unconfigure. It is not used to communicate with VSTS. You have a half unconfigured service - it removed it as a service but couldn't remove it from the service.
By design, we don't persist the very elevated PAT which equates to your account to register an agent.
This doesn't look like a bug in the agent - it looks like an issue with the azure VM extension if it's trying to unconfigure.
Registering/unregistering requires a super elevate PAT, but that interactive process downloads a limited access key/token using your authorization to listen to the queue: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-agent/blob/master/docs/design/auth.md
That was my understanding of PAT usage. It does look like an issue with the extension, the last line in the logs of the VM Agent (which manages VM extension updates) is an error.
2018/08/16 04:52:35.286929 ERROR Event: name=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.TeamServicesAgentLinux, op=Enable, message=[ExtensionError] Non-zero exit code: 5, AzureRM.py -enable, duration=0
I'm trying to find a way to report it to them but can't find where, if either of you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
~Now, just so I understand... what is it that stays in the VM/Agent that allows it to communicate with VSTS once the PAT is no longer needed? Updating the agent in place is obviously possible, I assume that's what updating from the VSTS portal would do, so maybe in this case that information is still there somewhere (the .credentials
and .credentials_rsaparams
files?), and the fix that the VM extension needs to implement is just trying to restart the agent instead of "reconfiguring" it?~ Nevermind, found it in the link you provided. Thanks @bryanmacfarlane .
@TingluoHuang - do you know where to report issues with VM extension?
And this is what I get if I try to start the service:
<my-user>@<my-server>:/VSTSAgent1534395152.047264$ sudo ./svc.sh start Failed to start vsts.agent.<REDACTED>.service: Unit vsts.agent.<REDACTED>.service not found. Failed: failed to start vsts.agent.<REDACTED>.service
try following command before start
sudo ./svc.sh install
sudo ./svc.sh start
sudo ./svc.sh status
Hi,
Today, out of the blue, the linux vsts-agent just went offline. The VM didn't seem to be the problem as I was able to SSH into it (Azure VM).
What I tried:
The reconfiguration went through and the agent does show up in the proper Agent Pool, but with offline status.
When trying ./svc.sh status i get output: [root@vstsagent VSTSAgent]# ./svc.sh status

So i went and changed the permissions, now there is no more error and actually a release that I had previously queued started, but I manually canceled it. Refreshed the VSTS Agent Pool page and my agent still appears as offline. Queued a new release, got warning that my agent is offline, clicked OK to go through anyway and of course it is not working and stating "Agent queue: agents-w-docker | Agent: not allocated". On The VM, this process is running: /VSTSAgent/bin/Agent.Listener run --startuptype service Also, I don't seem to have any more errors, see below output of svc.sh status command: [root@vstsagent VSTSAgent]# ./svc.sh status

In the end I managed to get in back online (green) in the Agent Pool by using: svc.sh stop, uninstall, install, start
I would very much like to know why this thing happened in the first place since nobody touched the agent or VM and how can this be avoided in the future as it caused disruption and it took a bit of sweat to solve it.
Appreciate any input on the matter and wish everyone a nice weekend ahead :)
