Troubleshooting

Common issues connecting machines and reading topology, and how to fix them.

Machine shows offline

  1. Check the service is running:
    sudo systemctl status ic-agent
    journalctl -u ic-agent -n 50 --no-pager
  2. Confirm outbound HTTPS/WSS to cloud.infracanvas.app is allowed.
  3. Verify the API key in the unit is valid (rotated keys stop working).

Kubernetes (or Docker) resources missing

Usually a scope or permissions problem:

  • The agent's scope must include kubernetes / docker. See scopes.
  • The agent must run as a user that can reach them. If installed via curl | sudo bash as root, root needs a kubeconfig (KUBECONFIG) and Docker access — otherwise those scopes go dark. The installer normally runs the agent as your login user to avoid this.

Adding a second account disconnected the first

The agent must be 1.4.0 or newer for multi-account. Update it from the machine card, then re-run the connect command with the new key. See connecting multiple accounts.

Action output looks empty or wrong

Make sure the agent is up to date — older agents had gaps in some host actions. Update from the machine card.

Metrics aren't showing

  • Metrics history requires a paid plan (Starter and up). See metrics.
  • Trends accumulate from the time you upgrade — there's no retroactive history.
