Self hosted runners unable to update status to ONLINE

[Bailey Shepherd]

we have a number of self hosted runners on one of our local servers. That server went down recently and now when I try to restart any of the runners i get this:

Updating runner state to "ONLINE".
[2022-05-25 19:18:09,670] An error occurred whilst updating runner state to "ONLINE".

Hello @Bailey Shepherd ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community! 

The error you are facing suggests the runner is timing out while trying to connect to our infrastructure. This is usually caused by a network issue, such as a firewall blocking the connection from the runner to our backend.

In this case, could you please make sure you have whitelisted the atlassian/bitbucket IPs listed below? 

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/pipelines-runners-frequently-asked-questions/#What-IP-address-do-I-need-to-whitelist-to-get-Runner-to-work

Also, in case you are running behind a proxy, you also need to configure the runner to use it by following the steps outlined in the following documentation : 

• https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/configure-a-runner-to-use-a-proxy/

Hope that helps! Let me know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @Bailey Shepherd 

Kind regards,

Patrik S
