Create an Agent Pool

POST /api/iacp/v3/agent-pools

Create a new agent pool resource.

Agent pools can be created at the account or environment scope. The scope must be defined as part of the agent pool creation. If a pool is created at the account scope, all environments and workspaces within those environments will have access to use the pool. If a pool is created at the environment scope, then only the workspaces in that environment can use that pool.

The typical flow for configuring a new agent pool involves the following operations:

  • Create an agent pool

  • Create an access token for the pool. The pool token is needed by an agent in order to join the agent pool. During the agent<->server handshake phase, the API server will generate a unique session token for each agent which will be used for all communication with the API server.

  • Install/Configure an agent on the customer’s network.

Query Parameters

  • include (array) – The comma-separated list of relationship paths. (Available values: account, agents, environment, workspaces)
