Question

hi guys i have everything set up fine from `prefect server start` and registered some flows but when i run them they never start always late i have also started agents with `prefect agent start` and `prefect agent start docker` but the agents just keep polling and fail to find any flows how can i check that the server sees the agent or the agents see the servers

sark · Answer

not sure if this is related but when i do `prefect get flow runs` ```requests exceptions HTTPError 400 Client Error Bad Request for url <http localhost 4200 graphql>```

sark · Answer

the graphql API says there are no agents ```curl H Accept Encoding gzip deflate br H Content Type application json H Accept application json H Connection keep alive H DNT 1 H Origin data binary query Write your query or mutati n n agent created n n compressed```

``` data agent ```

sark · Answer

fixed by setting ``` server endpoint = url ``` in `config toml`

thanks dylan no worries we do indeed have a big timezone difference slightly smiling face

sark · Answer

things have improved somewhat when i do `prefect agent start a <http localhost 4200>` now the jobs are always submitted but somehow always still get stuck in that submitted state forever

sark · Answer

ah one more thing all the labels for the job have to be present in the labels corresponding to the agent
