Agents list with online status

The first agent proves execution path from Orbnetes API to target host.

Steps:

  • Open Agents -> Create.
  • Generate registration token.
  • Choose OS and architecture in install instructions.
  • Download binary/archive and install on target host.
  • Start service and verify heartbeat.
  • Confirm agent appears as online in Agents list.

Operational guidance:

  • Start with one stable host and one clear tag (linux, qa, etc.).
  • Use least-privileged service user where possible.
  • Keep runner config file permissions restricted.

Validation:

  • Agent status is online.
  • Runtime metadata (hostname, OS, version, heartbeat) updates.
  • Test job can be routed to this agent by tag.
