Local agents

Self-hosted agents, and the switch that hides them.

What a local agent is

A local agent is a self-hosted agent on a server you run. It is not a container agent, and it is not an agent placed on a pool host that Hawkeye owns.

The switch

HAWKEYE_LOCAL_AGENTS_ENABLED defaults to off. Container agents are not affected. While it is off, a new self-hosted agent is refused and those rows are left out of the roster. An existing self-hosted row can still be removed. Turning the switch on restores create and the roster.

The switch is off for this process. Self-hosted agents are hidden. There is no customer control to turn this on from the app.

Spoken replies for the on-host voice path are described in Phone and voice. That path is separate from creating a self-hosted agent.
