are you referring to the rancher ui? instead of doing that with fleet, import the cluster into rancher and then by doing that you can manage through fleet
a
Maybe I am missing something, but had the impression that when using the Rancher UI one could also manage nodes that register themselves using agent based registration. I have a need for clusters to be managed without importing explicitly using the Rancher UI.
s
Perhaps we are talking in different terminology here. Agent registration sounds like a fleet only thing. If you want to see the cluster inside rancher i have always imported it
Why not import it? You are achieving the same thing
a
When checking the documentation, it looked like fleet is part of rancher.
s
It is.
But if you Have an external cluster you import in the cluster into rancher and then you can manage it through fleet and see all the resources through the ui
a
My usecase is that clusters will run on an edge device and are not capable of having a permanent connection.
s
And? 😊
a
Registration needs to happen when an edge boots and I have no access to it via external url or something.
s
How is that any different than what you wanted to achieve at the beginning?
a
Would love to use the UI to see when a cluster has last connected etc. And trigger GitOps updates when they come online
s
Gitops will occur when the cluster will connect.
You will be able to see the last state of the cluster through the fleet interface
This is when you import it iirc
a
I am unable to import using the UI because I have no direct access to it. The cluster needs to boot, register itself etc. So far i have managed this using agent based registration and was hoping that the cluster would also appear in the UI.

Check in continous delivery
It may appear there
a
Thanks for the pointer! 🙂
s
Does it appear? 😊
a
Need to check! Will let you know!
s
Under continous delivery there is a category called cluster

I am not behind my machine currently. Will come back to you!
