Question

Hi guys So there something unexpected happening with my prefect flows So I deployed my flows last night and agent stopped working around 20 01 UTC and when I opened the screen that was running the agent the agent came back alive again The agent is supposed to run flows every half an hour Look at the time stamps ```20 01 27 858 | INFO | Flow run lovely emu Created task run RAREA12to13 2f7bbdf5 0 for task RAREA12to13 20 01 27 864 | INFO | Flow run lovely emu Executing RAREA12to13 2f7bbdf5 0 immediately 20 01 29 858 | INFO | Task run RAREA12to13 2f7bbdf5 0 Finished in state Completed 20 01 30 235 | INFO | Flow run lovely emu Finished in state Completed All states completed 05 28 05 934 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Opening process augmented warthog 05 28 16 139 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process quaint barracuda exited cleanly 05 28 25 094 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process benign myna exited cleanly 05 28 35 179 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process pastel swine exited cleanly 05 28 35 180 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Opening process helpful turkey 05 28 35 230 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Opening process enormous gecko 05 28 55 267 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process lumpy wallaby exited cleanly 05 29 13 009 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process rigorous elephant exited cleanly 05 29 31 230 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process lovely emu exited cleanly 20 01 27 858 | INFO | Flow run lovely emu Created task run RAREA12to13 2f7bbdf5 0 for task RAREA12to13 20 01 27 864 | INFO | Flow run lovely emu Executing RAREA12to13 2f7bbdf5 0 immediately 20 01 29 858 | INFO | Task run RAREA12to13 2f7bbdf5 0 Finished in state Completed 20 01 30 235 | INFO | Flow run lovely emu Finished in state Completed All states completed 05 28 05 934 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Opening process augmented warthog 05 28 16 139 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process quaint barracuda exited cleanly 05 28 25 094 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process benign myna exited cleanly 05 28 35 179 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process pastel swine exited cleanly 05 28 35 180 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Opening process helpful turkey 05 28 35 230 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Opening process enormous gecko 05 28 55 267 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process lumpy wallaby exited cleanly 05 29 13 009 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process rigorous elephant exited cleanly 05 29 31 230 | INFO | prefect infrastructure process Process lovely emu exited cleanly ``` Another weird thing about this is even though I have enabled notifications for these flows from the prefect UI no notifications were sent for the flow being in late state

Hi Khyaati are your running the agent as a process or as a service

Christopher Boyd · Answer

based on what you said it seems like it s not running as a service but in foreground so when you bg it s not processing I would take a look at this discourse <https discourse prefect io t how to run a prefect 2 agent as a systemd service on linux 1450>
