Agent service¶
The Agent Installer installs the TEO agent as a system service. The service starts when the machine boots and restarts the agent automatically if it stops, so you do not need to start the agent by hand or keep a terminal open. Starting a second copy manually does not work: only one agent can run on a machine.
Check the agent ¶
Open the customer dashboard:
The Test Node should appear as online on the map, and its status icon on the Test Nodes page should show ✓ after you click it.
On the machine itself:
- Mac:
pgrep -fl TMSAgentshows the running agent process. - Linux Mini-PC:
systemctl status tmsagentshows the service state.
The agent writes its log files (quadatflog-*.log) in the QuadATFAgent folder.

If the node is not online¶
- Check that the machine is awake and connected to the internet.
- An Admin user can restart the agent from the Web UI: Test Nodes → select the node → ⋮ → Restart Agent.
- On a Linux Mini-PC you can also restart the service:
sudo systemctl restart tmsagent. On a Mac, restarting the machine restarts the agent. - If the node still does not come online, see Setup troubleshooting or contact support@quadified.com.
