@maheshmalidevi001 Hi, sorry for editing your post, it was on hold in the spam moderation queue.

It seems the title was cut after a certain cahracter limit, suggest editing your post and including all details. Thanks!

@dnsmichi thanks for your suggestions. i have included all details. if any information needed please keep posted here

Assuming you are running a self-managed GitLab instance, the agent also requires the server installed and enabled.

Maybe you are on the same team as this topic is about? Gitlab KAS Agent connection issue If so, let’s continue there.

@dnsmichi Thanks for the update. we are using self managed gitlab and also we have installed kas server and enabled.
Gitlab KAS Agent connection issue in this issue their agent was in connected state. in my case agent status is not connected. wondering why agent is not connected state in UI after correct configuration and installation also .

Thanks for the update. I can see that the agent has debug log enabled. Can you check again for any updates in the pod logs? By using the debug log severity, it should log more details.

no logs are getting other than the below log
$kubectl logs gitlab-agent-858b46c8f6-c2wcn -n gitlab-agent -f
{“level”:“info”,“time”:“2022-07-05T13:13:03.628Z”,“msg”:“Observability endpoint is up”,“mod_name”:“observability”,“net_network”:“tcp”,“net_address”:“[::]:8080”}

same here any update ?

Hello,
I ended up here after more than 3 days of searching and I still haven’t found a solution to this issue. I’m able to connect to the server with no issues from my Kubernetes nodes using ‘telnet gitdomain 443’
but for some reason the agent just shows me the same logs as OP.

The agent is able to connect to gitlab.com with no issues.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
