Might be very basic configuration problem. I see the controller is up and running and agent is also configured properly with controller's ip.

Current Node

But in agent log I see the below exception.

Hello have you correctly configured the Account key in the

I gave account-name and account-access-key as the user name and password that I use to login to controller UI. Is that correct?

Yes this is correct.
Do you connect using HTTP or SSL?
