Can I assume you're running the agent (in daemon mode) on the same machine that you're running the clearml-agent daemon --stop command?

by the way, if you stop a daemon in an orderly way, it should remove itself, I think...

OutrageousSheep60 , what version of ClearML-Agent are you using?

Do you have any other workers running?

yes - and removed from
clearml-agent list

My bad, I meant to ask what OS it's on 🙂

Can you try upgrading to the latest agent version? pip install -U clearml-agent

Did you wait 10-15~ mins for it to time out?

Hi OutrageousSheep60 , do you mean to make it disappear from the UI?

not sure I understand
running
clearml-agent listI get
`
workers:

• company:
  id: d1bd92...1e52b
  name: clearml
  id: clearml-server-...wdh:0
  ip: x.x.x.x
  ... `

When you stop a daemon service, it will stop reporting to the server. There's a timeout of 10min, after which a daemon will not be displayed in the server

Correct

Strange
I ran
clearml-agent daemon --stopand after 10 min I ran
clearml-agent listand I still see a worker

we reinstalled the clearml-agent$clearml-agent --version CLEARML-AGENT version 1.2.3running top | grep clearmlwe can see the agent running
running clearml-agent listwe can see 2 workers
before running clearml-agent daemon --stopWe updated the clearml.conf and updated the worker_id and worker_name with the relevant name/id that we can see from clearml-agent list
and we get
Could not find a running clearml-agent instance with worker_name=<clearml_worker_name> worker_id=<clearml_worker_id:0>As we understand the --stop without any id's should stop all the workers.

waited 10 minrunning top | grep clearml we can see the clearml-agent running
running clearml-agent list we can see the 2 workers

Well it seems that we have similar https://github.com/allegroai/clearml-agent/issues/86
currently we are just creating a new worker and on a separate queue

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release: 20.04
Codename: focal

If you killed all processes directly, there can't be any workers on that machine. It means that these two workers are running somewhere else...

Can you try with blank worker_id/work_name in your clearml.conf (basically how it was before)?

You can force kill the agent using kill -9 <process_id> but clearml-agent daemon stop should work.

Also, can you verify that one of the daemons is the clearml-services daemon? This one should be running from inside a docker on your server machine (I'm guessing you're self hosting - correct?).

updated the clearml.conf with empty worker_id/name ran

clearml-agent daemon --stop

top | grep clearmKilled the pidsran

clearml-agent list

still both of the workers are listed

Also, what version are you on?

Also, can you verify that you still have the clearml-agent process running? top / htop

Also, what version are you on?

of what?

Please advise on how to remove a worker

CLEARML-AGENT version 1.2.2
