I changed to the new api key for cloud but i get this error when registering the flows

prefect.utilities.exceptions.ClientError: Malformed response received from Cloud - please ensure that you have an API token properly configured.

Hi all I can not use the full cpu with mapped tasks on the prefect server using local dask executor (threads). I've a machine running the prefect server with 8 cpus (on ubuntu). There is a flow executed as a docker run with mapped cpu-intensive tasks using the local dask executor with threads. But whatever I try, the maximum cpu peak is 100% in this flow container (got this from docker stats). I know from other containers running on the same server, that the maximum is 100% per core, so in my case it is 800%. It looks like dask (or the container execution) is limited to only one cpu. Also if I look in 'top', there is only one cpu really in use. Is there any limit on the prefect server? Or is it linux, which is not using different cpu's for threads?

Hi all, I've observed different restart behaviour from ZombieKiller and the UI. I have a task that uses LOOP signal and output persisting with S3Result. My expectation is that if I do

4/10

iterations of the task, the result contains the output of the 4 iteration which is also the input to the 5th one. If the 5th one fails (in my case the process dies, stops sending 💓 ) the ZombieKiller restarts the task, but it ignores the result and starts from the 1st iteration! This doesn't happen if I restart it from the UI, there it correctly picks up the result and continues with 5th iteration.

Hi, I'd like to register a flow multiple times with a different schedule and parameters for each one. Is this possible? I can see from this page in the docs it’s possible to set a start time, but no schedule.  The reason is that we're investing creating a single generic flow that can handle different source data based on input parameters.

Hi All I think I am missing something obvious but when I re-register a flow after making a minor change, the changes do not get picked up.

Has anyone gotten Dask debug logging working with

LocalDaskExecutor

? I tried running this code but haven't seen any output from Dask in Prefect Cloud:

with Flow(
        "simple_aggregate_flow",
        executor=LocalDaskExecutor(
            scheduler="processes", **{
                "distributed.logging.distributed": "debug",
            }),
) as simple_aggregate_flow:
...

Hi, this is a general question, but just looking some advice. I’m trying to set off an already-registered run in a python lambda function that is triggered by a s3 file upload (bucket and key of the file are parameters). Whats the most lightweight way to do this? Any example code would be great.

Hi folks, I have a task decorated with GCSResult

from prefect.engine.results import GCSResult
from prefect import task, Flow

@task(log_stdout=True, result=GCSResult(bucket='prefect-cloud-results', location="{flow_name}/{flow_run_id}/{task_slug}/{task_run_id}_dummybenchmark.pkl"))
def compute_benchmark() -> float:
    return 0.753

with Flow("test_gcs") as flow:
    r = compute_benchmark()

x=flow.run()

When running in Prefect Cloud, the result is written to the specified GCS location and logs show as much, but when running the same flow on my local machine, the flow runs successfully but no attempt is made to write to GCS. It's not an access issue as I can manually call GCSResult.write(...) with success. Is the GCSResult decorator only expected to work from Prefect Cloud runs or am I missing some setting?

Hi everyone, I deployed prefect on a single node and now aiming at deploying the same on kubernetes using helm chart. While learning from live sessions on youtube I came across this piece of code.

@task
	def say_hello():
		print("hello world !!!")

with Flow("hello world") as flow:
	say_hello()


flow.storage = Docker(registry_url = "", image name = "hello world flow")
flow.register("demo")

Can someone please explain to me 1.) Why we used container registry for storing a flow and what difference would it make compared to other script based storage like github. 2.) When we execute a flow whose server is present on K8 but no executer is defined like in above snippet, where would the flow be executed on local machine or on a pod on the cluster.

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if there is a how-to guide to bring up a prefect-server instance on docker platform I can read on? No strict limitation on how many containers are needed at this point. I’m more interested in an approach that is maintainable.

Hello, I have an issue with the storage, as it's getting hard to configure the TLS config with DockerStorage as our registry is not properly administrated yet (another part of my team is handling this) a few questions: • Is there a way to use Docker storage without pushing the image to a repository ? • Can't we authentify to docker repository with login/password instead of TLS Config ? • Is there a way to specifiy the files to upload when using S3/GCS ? I first tried theses options but I got many file not found errors due to only the flow file being uploaded. I switch to docker storage because I saw it had the 'files' option.

How can I customise the flow executor depending on if the flow is being run locally or being serialized to a docker container? i.e I want to do:

if running_locally:
    flow.executor = LocalDaskExecutor()
else:
    flow.executor = DaskExecutor(cluster_class=lambda: KubeCluster(pod_template=....))

obviously the second DaskExecutor won’t work locally, which is a shame. I can’t find any supported way of checking if we’re serializing this for production rather than debugging it locally

Is there a way to get the currently defined

Result

class/instance for a given task within the task itself?

When using

flow.run()

is it possible to override the result class/type? Doing:

flow.run(result=LocalResult(...))

fails with:

TypeError: run() got an unexpected keyword argument 'result'

Hello all, I´m trying to get a flow running using a docker agent that it´s already running in docker…I get the agent connected to prefect server and the flow gets to the agent when I run it, but It never finish…

Hi guys, how r u doing? I'm new to prefect and i was reading: https://docs.prefect.io/core/idioms/parallel.html and i think im missing something 😏. I would like to build a list of tasks to be executed in parallel. See this dummy example:

@task
def create_task_list(ids):
    l = []
    for i in ids:
        l.append(ReferralUID())
    return l

@task
def generate_ids():
    return ["id1", "id2", "id3"]



with Flow("parallel-execution") as flow:

    ids = generate_ids()
    
    list_of_tasks = create_task_list(ids)

    request_referral = RequestReferralDetail()

    # list_of_tasks should be a list, but i'm returning a task. how to inject a list on bind?
    request_referral.bind(request_details=list_of_tasks, flow=flow)

    flow.visualize()
    flow.run(executor=LocalDaskExecutor())

Thanks

Hello, I'm getting a Prefect server set up on a RHEL server for the first time. I have a question related to the local agent- is there any way to run the agent "detached" like the server command? With the server, I can run

prefect server start --detach

so it doesn't run interactively. Is there a comparable solution for agents? When my ssh session with the server ends, so does my agent. I might just be missing something obvious. Appreciate any help.

Try to set rootless server on CentOs 7, following https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/rootless/ not so clear to me how to install

newuidmap

 and 

newgidmap

also not so clear what exactly I should add to

/etc/subuid

 and 

/etc/subgid

if someone can help with a step by step example, it will be very helpful thanks

another question on installation following https://docs.prefect.io/core/getting_started/installation.html If I want to change the port from 8080 to some other port, how to do this? this is for a case that something else is installed on this server and uses the 8080 port

Hi everyone, what’s the best way to report a potential security bug with Prefect?

How to keep the UI running on the server? If I run

prefect server start

, it will stop when exit the terminal I tried

sudo systemctl prefect server start

, but this does not look like to proper way

General question... I had some sample workflows running on my local machine (on my laptop), http://localhost:8080/default I've installed Prefect server on a VM. when I go to

<VM ip address>:8080

, without running anything, it is somehow shows the workflows and projects I had on my local machine. How can this be ?

Hello everyone , I am a little confused on the below mentioned part

import pymongo
import pandas
from reports.config import mongo_config
import sklearn
from prefect import Flow
from prefect.storage import Docker

@task
	def say_hello():
		print("hello world !!!")

with Flow("hello world") as flow:
	say_hello()


flow.storage = Docker(registry_url = , image name = "hello world flow")
flow.register("demo")

In above code I am importing three external libraries i.e pandas, sklearn, pymongo and

mongo_config

which here contains configuration related information for connecting with mongo

When I register a flow, lets say for code above ,

A.) step(1) A docker image containing everything including external libraries, mongo config and flow code will be built and saved to container registry.
	step(2) Its Metadata including a schedule if any , its path to dependencies from container registry etc will be saved on postgres.
	step(3) When the kubernetes agent polls and have to run the above flow, it will create a pod and dependencies will be installed and after task completion pod is terminated.

	Thats my understanding of how things are working, please correct me if am wrong on any of above.
	Now one thing here is what if mongo config changes, whenever we built pipelines for reporting all we want to do is just change config at one place and  changes   are incorporated for every other report but going on with above approach , i might need to re-register every flow to let it engulf the updated config, Thats what i thinking over here, can you suggest someways of how can i change config at one place so that all the flows knows it and i don't have to re-register all my flows.

B.) One way that i think will be able to solve this is when I use github as storage as the code is read from github so the updated config will also be taken into consideration possibly but there is one issue in this approach ,
when the pod is created to run the script how the dependencies will be installed on the pod  since we don't have docker image this time?

Hi everyone! For a few days now, I’m having some strange fails and raised exceptions which haven’t happened before. I’m using the ShellTask to run a Java Application on our Kubernetes Cluster. The ShellTask has a custom StateHandler to send notifications in case the Shell fails and/or retries. It also uses a lambda function to generate the task_run_name from the executed command:

executeShell = ShellTask(task_run_name=lambda **kwargs: f"{kwargs['command'].split('-file ')[1].split(' -')[0].rpartition('/')[-1]}",
    stream_output=True, max_retries=RETRY_MAX, retry_delay=timedelta(minutes=RETRY_TIMEOUT), timeout=TIMEOUT, state_handlers=[taskStateHandler])

def taskStateHandler(obj: Task, old_state: State, new_state: State):
    try:
        if new_state.is_retrying():
            sendTelegramNotification("Task {0} failed and is retrying at {1}".format(obj.task_run_name, new_state.start_time))
        return new_state
    except:
        sendTelegramNotification("Task {0} failed with an exception".format(obj.name))
        return new_state

Since the task_run_name is a lambda function, I just called task.task_run_name() to get the resolved name. But somehow, since a week or so, prefect raises the following exception:

Exception raised while calling state handlers: KeyError('command')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/prefect/engine/cloud/task_runner.py", line 64, in call_runner_target_handlers
    new_state = super().call_runner_target_handlers(
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/prefect/engine/task_runner.py", line 114, in call_runner_target_handlers
    new_state = handler(self.task, old_state, new_state) or new_state
  File "prefect-master.py", line 200, in taskStateHandler
  File "prefect-master.py", line 222, in <lambda>
KeyError: 'command'

I just can’t figure out what I’m missing or doing wrong… I even reverted to 0.14.19 where I thought it worked but same exception.

Hi there, is there anyway to control how flows get versioned. We use calver for our releases and having the flow versions align with our deploy versions would be super helpful.

Hi everyone, I am trying to figure out how to work with a mapped flow with some of the tasks having multiple return values and running into some issues (details in the thread).

Hi everyone! I'm trying to run a flow on an ECS Agent with GitHub Storage and LocalExecutor and I'm getting this error.

I've tried a lot of things and nothing seems to work, do you know what it can be?

Hi folks, I'm running Prefect Server in my Kubernetes cluster with a Kubernetes agent. I'm also running a permanent Dask cluster in Kubernetes which I use for running parallelised flows. But each job passes through the Kubernetes Agent on its way to the Dask cluster necessitating the creation of a Kubernetes Job object before the Dask cluster work is scheduled. How should I get around this? Can I run a local agent on the GraphQL server? Thanks all!

apollo:core-0.14.16 docker memory error: we are occasionally seeing failures with the docker container, the container will sometimes restart itself successfully and sometimes it won’t. the hosting machine have enough memory. Is there any setting we can change in terms of how much memory this container is allocated? I couldn’t find it in the server docker-compose file. the error message:

Anyone know how to kill a Cloud flow run that just won't die? I exhausted my free plan quota in the middle of a large mapped task and started getting thousands of "usage exceeded" messages. We'll obviously upgrade our plan, but that flow run won't seem to die. I've tried canceling it and manually setting its state but the "duration" continues to advance. (run ID is
