Hi. quick question: starting the agent in the command line works fine when specifying the server url

prefect agent start --api http://<url>:4200

but in code doesn't:

from prefect.agent.local import LocalAgent
agent = LocalAgent(agent_address="http://<url>:4200")
agent.start()

fails with:

/tornado/netutil.py", line 174, in bind_sockets
    sock.bind(sockaddr)
OSError: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address

Any idea? thanks

Hi @Nuno Silva -

agent_address

as an arg to the

*Agent()

constructor tells Prefect to start an agent at that url/port. To set the endpoint that the Agent polls against, you'll instead want to set

server.endpoint

in your

~/.prefect/config.toml

.

@nicholas perfect, it works. I did it with:

os.environ["PREFECT__SERVER__ENDPOINT"] = f"{prefect_url}:4200"

thank you

Glad it works @Nuno Silva!
