Team City - No Compatible Agents Found

Question

Folks,

I am trying to use Team City. I completed the six steps out of 7. Now for the last step, under the tab "Agent Requirements", it is showing me the following message

Agents compatibility
In this section you can see which agents are compatible with requirements and which are not.

There are no agents registered.

Why it is showing this message ? Any solution ?

or rather, how to register an agent ?

---

EDIT : I already installed the Agent via MS Windows Installer, but it still shows me the same above message

Finally managed to get this output :)

Answer 1

Your agents tab title says - Agents (0) - that means you have no registered agents. Go to the Agents tab and see if the agent(s) that you want are authorized and connected. ( the first time an agent connects to the server, it has to be authorized from the Agents page - checkout http://server/agents.html?tab=unauthorizedAgents)

Answer 2

One reason may be that the Build Agent itself is either 1. not running (build agent service is not actually running - check the status of the service via the windows 'local services' admin panel), 2. not able to connect to the Team City server.

In either case, I found reading the build agent's logs to be very helpful in identifying the underlying issues. These can be found in the build_agent_install_dir/logs folder.
