[Feat]: API endpoint for reporting Agent start up failures

Open ralphm opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Problem

Agents can silently fail to connect after claiming. Let's have the Agent report back on what happened.

Description

If an Agent fails to connect to Cloud, while claiming succeeded, having the Agent report back on start up failures would be useful for debugging. Particularly failures after authentication are invisible to Cloud at the moment.

Importance

really want

Value proposition

  1. Aids in debugging

Proposed implementation

The reasoning is that if an Agent can be claimed, it can do HTTP API calls. The implementation should provide a new API to report Agent startup failures to Cloud.
