Agent Troubleshooting

Last updated: 2026-07-23

If your VordFleet agent is not reporting correctly, use these steps to diagnose and fix the issue.

Agent Not Appearing in Dashboard

  1. Check the service is running:
sudo systemctl status vord-agent
  1. Verify the registration token is correct in /etc/framlux/vord-agent.toml.

  2. Check network connectivity — the agent needs outbound HTTPS access to grpc.app.vordfleet.dev on port 443.

  3. Review the logs:

sudo journalctl -u vord-agent --no-pager -n 100

Agent Showing as Offline

If the agent was previously connected but now shows offline:

  • Check if the host rebooted — the agent should restart automatically via systemd.
  • Check disk space — if the root partition is full, the agent may fail to write its state file.
  • Check DNS resolution — ensure grpc.app.vordfleet.dev resolves correctly.

Updating the Agent

To update to the latest agent version:

curl -fsSL https://get.vordfleet.dev | sudo bash -s -- --update

This upgrades the installed vord-agent package through your system’s package manager and restarts the service. It does not need a registration token.

Uninstalling the Agent

To remove the agent completely:

sudo systemctl stop vord-agent
sudo systemctl disable vord-agent
sudo apt remove vord-agent    # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf remove vord-agent    # RHEL/Fedora

The host will appear as offline in the dashboard. You can remove it from the host detail page.
