    Description

      We recently set up a new Jenkins and Swarm setup, it came with the remoting 4.6.

      We are seeing our Agents not able to connect and get stuck here:

      In the Docker Swarm Cloud Config the Jenkins url is set to : http://10.XXX:8080/

      And the swarm url is set to http://10.XYZ:2376

      HINFO: Locating server among [PRIMARYJENKINSURLIN_GLOBALCONFIG]
      

      What is unique is in the case where it does not work we only see ONE url in the `HINFO: Locating server among [PRIMARYJENKINSURLIN_GLOBALCONFIG]`

      We have another setup on another box with the same version of the Docker Swarm plugin (2.9) but remoting 4.5 and the candidateURLs have two urls `INFO: Locating server among [DOCKERSWARMURLFROMDOCKERCONFIG, PRIMARYJENKINSURL_GLOBALCONFIG]`

       

      We are trying to understand

      1. How do the candidateURLs get set for remoting. Where does it pull that from?

      2. Did something change in this area in remoting 4.6? I see some work with candidateURLs in the commit diff, but not sure entirely related

       

      We are not sure what else to check/try do to get both URLs to show up. If we were to change our JENKINS global config jenkins url to the 10.x url it works.. but we do not want that

          We just tried updating the remoting to 4.6 on the working box that had 4.5 before and it still works and shows two candidate urls, so it may not be the remoting jar itself

          We need to understand where these candidate urls get set that get passed to the remoting

          Found this ticket after some digging https://issues.jenkins.io/browse/JENKINS-63222

          It helped me proceed actually their issue is very similar although doesn't exactly line up.. but likely something in core broke us, the working box was 2.257 and the non working was latest

          Im gonna open a ticket on the Docker Swarm plugin page as well to let them know that their defaults no longer seem to work

          Using this command works 

          sh
          -cx
          curl --connect-timeout 20 --max-time 60 -o agent.jar $DOCKER_SWARM_PLUGIN_JENKINS_AGENT_JAR_URL && java -classpath agent.jar hudson.remoting.jnlp.Main -headless -url http://172.17.0.1:8080/  -workDir /tmp $DOCKER_SWARM_PLUGIN_JENKINS_AGENT_SECRET $DOCKER_SWARM_PLUGIN_JENKINS_AGENT_NAME

          Yes, it sounds like something similar to JENKINS-63222. Have you seen this change https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/5153 ? It provides a new mechanism to deal with some of those scenarios. I don't know if there's anything specific in the swarm-plugin that relates.

          Yeah we saw from Jesse's post that basically our options were to change the jar commands or set that. We opted to change the jar commands for now.  I opened a bug for the Swarm Plugin too.. basically I think core changed something that these consumers need to update
