# Agent Operations Quick Start This guide covers deploying, configuring, and maintaining Stella Ops agents at scale. ## Zero-Touch Bootstrap Deploy agents with a single command using bootstrap tokens. ### Generate Bootstrap Token ```bash # Generate token and get install command stella agent bootstrap --name prod-agent-01 --env production # Output includes platform-specific one-liners: # Linux: curl -fsSL https://... | STELLA_TOKEN="..." bash # Windows: $env:STELLA_TOKEN='...'; iwr -useb https://... | iex # Docker: docker run -d -e STELLA_TOKEN="..." stellaops/agent:latest ``` ### Custom Capabilities ```bash stella agent bootstrap \ --name prod-agent-01 \ --env production \ --capabilities docker,compose,helm \ --output install-token.txt ``` ## Configuration Management ### View Current Configuration ```bash # Show current config in YAML format stella agent config # Show as JSON stella agent config --format json ``` ### Detect Configuration Drift ```bash # Check for drift between current and desired state stella agent config --diff ``` ### Apply New Configuration ```yaml # agent-config.yaml identity: agentId: agent-abc123 agentName: prod-agent-01 environment: production connection: orchestratorUrl: https://orchestrator.example.com heartbeatInterval: 30s capabilities: docker: true scripts: true compose: true resources: maxConcurrentTasks: 10 workDirectory: /var/lib/stella-agent security: certificate: source: AutoProvision ``` ```bash # Validate without applying stella agent apply -f agent-config.yaml --dry-run # Apply configuration stella agent apply -f agent-config.yaml ``` ## Agent Health Diagnostics (Doctor) ### Run Local Diagnostics ```bash # Run all health checks stella agent doctor # Filter by category stella agent doctor --category security stella agent doctor --category network stella agent doctor --category runtime stella agent doctor --category resources stella agent doctor --category configuration ``` ### Apply Automated Fixes ```bash # Run diagnostics and apply fixes stella agent doctor --fix ``` ### Output Formats ```bash # Table output (default) stella agent doctor # JSON output for scripting stella agent doctor --format json # YAML output stella agent doctor --format yaml ``` ## Certificate Management ### Check Certificate Status ```bash stella agent cert-status ``` ### Renew Certificate ```bash # Renew if nearing expiry stella agent renew-cert # Force renewal stella agent renew-cert --force ``` ## Agent Updates ### Check for Updates ```bash stella agent update --check ``` ### Apply Updates ```bash # Update to latest stella agent update # Update to specific version stella agent update --version 1.3.0 # Force update outside maintenance window stella agent update --force ``` ### Rollback ```bash # Rollback to previous version stella agent rollback ``` ## Health Check Categories | Category | Checks | |----------|--------| | Security | Certificate expiry, certificate validity | | Network | Orchestrator connectivity, DNS resolution | | Runtime | Docker daemon, task queue depth | | Resources | Disk space, memory usage, CPU usage | | Configuration | Configuration drift | ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues **Certificate Expired** ```bash stella agent renew-cert --force ``` **Docker Not Accessible** ```bash # Check Docker socket ls -la /var/run/docker.sock # Add agent to docker group sudo usermod -aG docker stella-agent sudo systemctl restart stella-agent ``` **Disk Space Low** ```bash # Clean up Docker resources docker system prune -af --volumes # Check agent work directory du -sh /var/lib/stella-agent ``` **Connection Issues** ```bash # Check DNS nslookup orchestrator.example.com # Check port telnet orchestrator.example.com 443 # Check firewall sudo iptables -L -n | grep 443 ``` ## Fleet Monitoring The orchestrator Doctor plugin monitors all agents: - **Heartbeat Freshness**: Alerts on stale heartbeats - **Certificate Expiry**: Warns before fleet certificates expire - **Version Consistency**: Detects version skew across agents - **Capacity**: Monitors task queue and agent load - **Failed Task Rate**: Alerts on high failure rates Access via: ```bash stella doctor run --plugin agent-health ```
