Anyone know if the

LocalAgent

can run using the

LocalDaskExecutor

? It’s parallelizing stuff fine locally when I just run

flow.run

but on a server running a local agent it looks like it’s going one task at a time (I’m just watching the logs in prefect cloud). I’m setting

flow.executor

before registering it, if that matters. I don’t see any indication in Prefect Cloud of what the flow’s executor is.

Yes it can. May be try setting

n_workers

explicitly to make sure it uses the available cores.

Right I’m setting it to 4, lemme dig deeper to see if I notice anything

Oh I think I know what might be happening. Do you define your executor in a different file than your Flow?

I do yeah

The executor is loaded from the storage. It’s not serialized along with the Flow because it can contain private stuff like the Dask address so we don’t keep it.

🙌 got it. thank you @Kevin Kho
