Hybrid Deployment Agents

Hybrid Deployment Agent is an integral part of our Hybrid Deployment model. It is installed in your local environment and manages the data pipeline processing in your network. It also communicates outbound with Fivetran to send your pipeline's metadata and logs, which we use to understand how the pipeline is running and display the details on the dashboard.

You can view and manage all the Hybrid Deployment Agents associated with your account on the Hybrid Deployment Agents tab of the Fiveran dashboard.

On the Hybrid Deployment Agents tab, you can do the following:

• View all the agents associated with your Fivetran account

• View the current status and other details of the agents

• Regenerate the token for your agents

• Change the container runtime for your agents

• Disable your agents

  NOTE: When you re-enable a disabled agent, you must regenerate the agent token.

• Delete the agents that are not associated with any connector and destination

  

Regenerate agent token

1. Stop the agent for which you want to regenerate the token.

   NOTE: For more information about how to stop the agent, see our Hybrid Deployment setup guide.

2. On the More Options menu for the agent, click Regenerate token.

4. Make a note of the new token.
5. Log in to your local machine using the Fivetran user.
6. Go to $HOME/fivetran/conf and open the config.json file.

8. Restart the agent.
9. Go to the Fivetran dashboard and click Save.
