(tried docker otter:3.0.14-ci.1) Situation: I want to schedule a job for detect and remediate drift every hour.

Jobs\Upcoming & Recurring\Create Recurring Job\Remediate Drift on Recurring Basis:

• Schedule: Custom
• Run at time: 0 0 * ? * * *
• [Create Job]

.1. Description: "Invalid chron expression:".

2. Value (of field Job_Configuration record in table Jobs) wo "CronSchedule":
   <Inedo.Otter.Jobs.JobConfiguration Assembly="OtterCoreEx"><Properties JobType="Configuration" ServerTargeting="RolesAndEnvironment" Simulation="False" Async="True"><ServerNames /><ServerRoleNames><Item>agent</Item></ServerRoleNames><EnvironmentNames /><Variables /></Properties></Inedo.Otter.Jobs.JobConfiguration>

3. If edit-recurring job:

• Schedule: "Every day"
• Run at time: (blank)

4. Equally for "Run Script on Recurring Basis".

5. Workaround:

   1. Create with Schedule: "Every day";
   2. Update sql-record in table Jobs with CronSchedule "0 0 * ? * * *".

.2. Edit-recurring (RemediateDrift Job) - "Script is required".

@gdivis Thank you very much (it works).

@shiv03_9800 said in Docker Otter 3.0.12 with InedoAgent The agent does not have a valid execution temp path:

You retold:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/inedoagent-configuration-troubleshooting
But in both cases, it is missed workaround that here need to reconfigure in Otter the 'serverX' (pull the settings), for push content to blank temporary directory.
Otherwise - 'droped' execute with "Agent don't installed".
(This is not required in SSH-connect)

docker otter:3.0.14-ci.1 still reproduced "not documented '5. Do Otter\Servers\srvX\Details\Edit\OK'".

docker otter:3.0.13 (wo reinstall InedoAgent), exec PowerShellDemo.
Status: Warning
(Execution: OK)
Cleanup & Finalization:
DEBUG: Cleaning up temporary files on Inedo Agent (v??, 10.72.14.141:80)...
WARN: Unable to delete temporary directory "C:\ForInedoAgent\10.72.14.130\Temp_E1104" on Inedo Agent (v??, 10.72.14.141:80): Could not load file or assembly 'System.Private.CoreLib' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi,

@Dan_Woolf:
<OtterRootPath>C:\ForInedoAgent</OtterRootPath>
I tried both options yesterday - with a dot and without a dot, and together at once.

Can you please clarify what you are referring to when you say that you need to reconfigure Otter to blank the temporary directory. The Inedo Agent based servers do not have an option to set a temporary path directly in Otter.

Please, look [EDO-7988]

Hi @Dan_Woolf,

1. Answer:

   1. was as defaullt: BUILTIN\SYSTEM;
   2. no changes (the service is started as a new local user, folders appeared in the specified folder [C:\Tmp\otter], the error, subfolders and log is the same).

   https://docs.inedo.com/docs/inedoagent-configuration-troubleshooting

On execute "PowerShellDemo" on "InedoAgent", error:
"The agent does not have a valid execution temp path.
Execution run failed."

Tried: on 3 machines: W10/2016/2019 (2019 - in one [Proxmox] host with docker).

With:
new DB Otter (or old from otter-3.0.10)
docker otter:3.0.12
Inedo Agent (v49, a1.b1.c1.d1:80/46336)
Encryption: None or AES
status="Ready" (empty LogMessages)

After execute:

1. LogMessages: empty

2. LogFile:
   dt: Connection request from a2.b2.c2.d2:nnnnn
   dt: Connection established with a2.b2.c2.d2:nnnnn
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] start message loop
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] waiting for message ...
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] message recieved (25 bytes)
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] waiting for message ...
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] message recieved (17 bytes)
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] waiting for message ...
   dt: a2.b2.c2.d2:nnnnn disconnected.
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] message recieved ((null) bytes)
   dt DEBUG [s-x1] terminated message loop

3. There are folders:

   1. %TEMP%:
      C:\Windows\Temp\Inedo
      ExtensionCache\ - with subfolders
      C:\Windows\Temp\InedoAgent\Otter\a2.b2.c2.d2
      Agents
      Extensions
      Temp\ - empty
   2. C:\ProgramData:
      C:\ProgramData\Inedo
      SharedConfig\ - with conf
      C:\ProgramData\InedoAgent\ - empty.

4. cacls on these folders:

   • with SYSTEM:F (InedoAgentService runas SYSTEM).
   • I added Everyone:F - without changes.

5. In C:\Windows\Temp\InedoAgent...\bin - somehow not enough files: 23 (on other machine - only 7 - Otter*).

6. Deleting/Rename the folder C:\Windows\Temp\InedoAgent and restarting the service - no event error.
   But the error is reproducible (both: message "droped" and 3 events "hostfxr.dll"/23 files).

7. Maybe there is a continuation of topic "Docker Otter 3.0.11 Segmentation fault (core dumped)"?

1. [EDO-7981]

2. reinstall (with drop/create DB Otter) docker otter 3.0.12-ci.1, latest (3.0.11.1)

• dont work, similarly ("drop").

3. EventViewer (for agent on clear WS2019) on start "InedoAgentService":
   err app '.Net Runtime' 1023
   The required library not exist hostfxr.dll shoulds in C:\Windows\Temp...\bin.

• That is, the Otter-installer does not check, does not install dependencies.

4. with WS2019 was installed .Net FW Full 4.7.03190.
   hostfxr.dll - (most likely) from Powershell7

It is very sad, since it also:

Don't work with Inedo Agent (49.0.0, tried with docker 'otter 3.0.12-ci.1' and 3 windows machines W10/2016/2019):

1. Does not connect to the agent (always 'The connection was dropped'; aes / none, with [fw] open port: checked nc -v ip 46336);
2. And it does not allow changing "aes -> none" ('EncryptionKey' remains in the record in table 'Servers') [workaround: clear field "Encryption key"].

Bye.
