When creating a new node, the option to “Launch agent by connecting it to the master” is not available in the “Launch method”.
How do I find this on my Jenkins?
The option “Launch agent by connecting it to the master” is only available if theinbound agents portis enabled (i.e. the TcpSlaveAgentListener is running).
The inbound agents port can be enabled underManage Jenkins > Configure Global Security > Agents > TCP port for inbound agents. Once enabled, the option “Launch agent by connecting it to the master” will be available in the configuration of the Jenkins Nodes.
