Fleet cluster in Wait Applied state is missing the fleet-agent

This document (000021064) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

Rancher 2.6/2.7/2.8

At least one downstream cluster.

Situation

On the Rancher UI, when exploring the Continuous Delivery > Clusters section, there may be clusters that are in the Wait Applied state.

This is likely because the fleet-agent deployment is missing in the cluster.

To confirm, explore the cluster and go to Workloads > Deployments and check to see if there is a fleet-agent deployment under the cattle-fleet-system namespace.

Resolution

If the fleet-agent deployment is missing, it can be recovered by doing a Force Update on the clusters in question in the Continuous Delivery > Clusters section of the Rancher UI.

If this solution does not resolve the issue, please reach out to our support team for thorough diagnosis and assistance.
