That is correct (And I am not sure why is it doing that).

However, immediately after those lines, it tries to find the default conf file:

Using built-in ClearML default key/secret
clearml_agent: ERROR: Could not find host server definition (missing `~/clearml.conf` or Environment CLEARML_API_HOST)

Which is present at /home/<username>/clearml.conf or ~/clearml.conf on Linux. I even tried to define the CLEARML_API_HOST env variable. But fails at the same error.

@<1523701087100473344:profile|SuccessfulKoala55> sure seems to be a problem with the set-up somewhere.

I tried on a pristine GPU machine, it worked well there

For the most part the logs contains the dump of docker pull statements and python installations. And then it fails because it is not able to establish connection with the clearML server.

When my Queue name is CPU_Queue which is what I pass to the clearml-agent deoman call in --queue argument

Sure, here you go:

Thank you for all your help! 😄

Also, I found it weird when I tried to get the status of the agent using clearml-agent daemon --status

It says:

No uptime/downtime configurations found
 
  - Listening to queue 'default'
