If your VordFleet agent is not reporting correctly, use these steps to diagnose and fix the issue.
Agent Not Appearing in Dashboard
- Check the service is running:
sudo systemctl status vord-agent Verify the registration token is correct in
/etc/framlux/vord-agent.toml.Check network connectivity — the agent needs outbound HTTPS access to
grpc.app.vordfleet.devon port 443.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.devresolves 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.
