I’ve downloaded the installed the Windows Python agent from cumulocity-client · GitHub Topics · GitHub . I’ve got Python installed but when I try to do a c8ydm.start, the client starts but doesn’t bootstrap the device I entered in the platform. I’m thinking I dont’ have the agent.ini file configured correctly - does anyone have any experience doing that?

Thanks!

Hi,
can you be more specific with regards to the client? The link you included leads to an overview page of many clients.
Cheers!

What do you have in the agent.ini?

4

I guess he means that because he refers to agent.ini.

Could you post your agent.ini?

I did the pip install c8ydm on the Windows device.

Why did you dis comment the device.id? I’m not sure what’s happening then on windows. On unix the agent uses the hostname which does not exist on windows (@Stefan_Witschel ).

Could you also print the log in level debug?

I don’t recall doing that, but I uncommented the Device.id and that fixed the problem. The device is communicating now. Duh…

Thanks to everyone for their help! Sorry it was such as small issue.

No worry, that’s what this forum is all about :wink:
