Hi, how would I change the

PREFECT__CLOUD__AGENT__AGENT_ADDRESS

field fo Kubernetes deployment without modifying the yaml file directly? Is there a command line argument that I can use? I was suspecting

--agent-address

, but that’s not available.

- name: PREFECT__CLOUD__AGENT__AGENT_ADDRESS
          value: http://:8080

Below is the command I’m testing

prefect agent kubernetes install --backend cloud --api "<https://api.prefect.io>" --namespace xxxxx --tenant-id xxxxx --service-account-name xxxx --key xxxx --rbac | kubectl apply --namespace=xxxxx -f -

Hey @Shaoyi Zhang, a bit confused. Why are you trying to change this if you are using Cloud?

Hey Kevin, thank you for the quick reply. I was getting following error

The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

I think that agent address is not the issue. When I do the

prefect agent kubernetes install

, this is what I get

localhost might be coming from kubernetes end. I tried

prefect backend cloud

, but got same error. Let me poke my Kubernetes configuration.

I have a gist here of a working agent setup on cloud. it’s pretty much the same as above but maybe you can compare

I figured it out. I was missing the

--context

flag in kubectl command. This is unrelated to Prefect. Thank you for pointing me to the right direction!

You should see that in the UI under the agents Tab. Do you not see anything?

I can see other agents except for the k8s agent that I created today

Do you have multiple tenants by chance?

Yes, we have like 9 tenants

Wow! 9!? That’s a lot haha. Maybe the agent is in the wrong tenant?

oh, I can see it now. There might be some bug in the UI because when I was trying to create a project it crashed, and force refresh made the new kubernetes agent visible in UI
