Hi! I'm running prefect server and my flows keep getting stuck on 
submitted
. I originally started with a kubernetes agent and thought it was a configuration issue between prefect and kubernetes, but I get the same behavior with a docker agent. The agents pull the correct docker image and submit it, but the flows don't enter a running state. I'd be grateful for any ideas or pointers! Cheers

Hi @deltikron. Does the flow and agent have the same labels? Agent picks up flows from server only if the flow has at least one label matching the agent labels
d
Hey @ale,thanks for the quick reply! Yes, the labels match, I can see the agent picking up the run in the agent log:

The flows just stay in the submitted state until they get failed automatically after a while:
a
Mmmh…very strange… It seems that Prefect server is not able to check if the flow is still alive or not. Can you confirm that once the flow is submitted the corresponding container is started?
d
Aaaahh, that approach helped! Not solved yet but closer to what's happening: I ran the DockerAgent with the -f flag for flow output and got the following error message:

Is this more of a docker error than a prefect error? I'm not 100% sure how to continue with it, but at least I've got a new lead for now.
a
I think it’s a Docker error. But since the container is not running, then Lazarus is not able to check wether the flow run is alive or not
d
🤔 All right, that's strange: Just checked all of my versions and so on, both prefect and docker are perfectly up to date (prefect v.0.13.12 and docker v.19.03.13) I'm also pretty sure that I haven't done any exotic configuration of the network on my host since it's just a dedicated development VM that has nothing else on it. In any case this couldn't be the cause of the problem as the error is occurring within the container. I have to admit I'm a bit lost... I'm only trying to run the DockerStorage sample flow from the documentation which should just work, right? Edit: Link formatting
a
From the error log it seems that the Docker container is not able to connect to GraphQL…
d
Yes, you were right, I just had a short session with our admin and there was in fact a firewall inbetween the container and graphql, opening that up fixed the issue.
Thanks for your time!
In case anyone stumbles across this thread in the future, there is even an open issue for this problem: https://github.com/PrefectHQ/server/issues/25 If I'd found it earlier that would have saved a lot of time 🙈

Hello @deltikron @ale - I'm encountering the same issue too! I'm not much of a networking guru, but I understand that the fix would be to open up the firewall inbetween the container and graphql. How do I go about doing that?
d
Hey @Riley Hun I'm afraid I can't really help you there, sorry. I'm way out of my depth with the intricacies of network config. What I did was to completely turn off the 
firewalld
service because I was only working on a local development machine. In a production-type setting this is probably way to dangerous and once we get past the proof-of-concept stage we'll be fine tuning this with the help of our experts.
