Servers are not visible in Agent Assignment

Products

• CA Release Automation - Release Operations Center (Nolio)

Issue/Introduction

While attempting to assign agents to Server Types (via Environment -> Agent Assignment), we use the filter to look for the hostname. But the server is not found even though the agent is installed. 

Environment

Release : 6.7

Component : Nolio Agent

Cause

The agent's conf/nimi_config.xml is configured with a node_id value that is different from the hostname. 

Resolution

Update the node_id value in the nimi_config.xml file to use a value that matches the servername of the agent machine. Except for Execution Servers, the node_id on agent machines usually match the machine name that the agent is installed on. Once the change is made, restart the agent.
