Add Agent to Group

New on-prem group

After you select an on-prem group or create a new group, Workato prompts you to create an agent.

Operating systems

We support the following operating systems:

• Windows
• Linux
  • .tar.gz archive installer
  • DEB package
  • RPM package

Click Add on-prem agent to start an agent-creation wizard that sets up, runs, and verifies that your agent is active.

For this example, we set up an on-prem agent on a Windows OS.

Step 1: Install On-prem agent

Open your On-prem group page and click Add new agent. Provide a meaningful agent name, and select your operating system (OS) for the agent installation.

Choose OS

2

Read and accept the End User License Agreement.

Download the installer file to the on-prem system and start installation. The wizard provides OS-specific installation instructions.

Step 2: Activate and start On-prem agent

1

During agent installation, you will be asked for an activation code. You can find it in Step 4 of the wizard in Workato. Just copy the code and paste it into the Windows installer.

Please note that the traffic to Workato should be allowed from your server - see more information here.

Alternatively, you can activate your agent later on by running activation.cmd script from the bin folder in your agent installation directory.

Activate

After the agent becomes active, click Test agent to verify that the connection is successful.
