iotkit-agent not working after boot

[Zoran_R_1]

Small node.JS application with Intel IoT XDK. App communicate with enableiot.com using iotkit-agent (mqtt protocol). App works fine both on Edison & Galileo GEN1. Both boards have last image, last node, last iotkit-agent. App exchange message with iotkit-agent using UDP.

Same problem : after boot/reboot without systemctl restart iotkit-agent  app not sending any data to enableiot. On galileo board situation is very clear : without restart iotkit, agent.log is missing in tmp folder. Immediatly after restart, agent.log is created, and in-out messages are generated.

Galileo version app is started during boot process ( uploaded with XDK IoT edition ). Edison version app is started manually (node main.js)

Galileo is connected to LAN, Edison is connected to WiFi....

just to check the obvious: is iotkit-agent enabled at all?

I.E. "systemctl enable iotkit-agent"

Thx Matthias... that's problem

systemctl status iotkit-agent  => disabled

• systemctl enable iotkit-agent
• shutdown -r now
• app works!!!! 
• systemctl status iotkit-agent return 

Yes, I'm Linux newbie :)

One thing confused me: with disabled iotkit-agent, test iotkit-admin test was successful...

iotkit-admin completly bypasses iotkit-agent and directly talks to the cloud. Hence it also wouldn't recognize the agent not running. IMHO "iotkit-admin test" would tell you whether your device can see the cloud.

btw: afaik this forum is discontinued and you should rather post questions to https://communities.intel.com/community/makers
