This arised after I restarted the agent which had been down since 9 jun! do we install monit on macs as part of ansible for auto restart of the agents?

[rvagg]

I don't think monit is the right solution for macos. I used to install a launcher profile on macos to let the system handle restarts but I don't see any evidence of that in Ansible now (this was pre-ansible for macos when I managed it all manually). There's an XML config you load into the system that auto-starts it on boot but will also auto-restart it when it dies if you set the right property in it.

[AshCripps]

Something definitey go awry in the ansible scripts that machine doesnt have jenkins in launchctl, it used a start.sh which calls java directly:

java -Xmx128m \
    -jar /Users/iojs/slave.jar -secret REDACTED \
    -jnlpUrl https://ci-release.nodejs.org/computer/release-nearform-macos10.15-x64-1/slave-agent.jnlp

[AshCripps]

ive cleared up the workspace on the machine to remove the locked files

[AshCripps]

hmmm, when I closed my terminal session it broke the connection for the agent again something is really not right with the setup. For now I will run it through the VM itself on the host and hope that connection stays up

[AshCripps]

Turns out I forgot to plug my brain in when starting the agent, started it as the wrong user its now working
