Hi Frank, there are a few ways in which agents can become non-functional (full disk, code error, OOM killer, mismatched incentives in the organization, etc), none of which can be fixed by the (now dysfunctional) agent. The common remediation is monitoring agent reports and investigating nodes that have not reported in within their expected timeframe. Without the capability to address the underlying structural issues, it will remain a game whack-a-mole.
Good luck, David On Monday, November 7, 2016 at 2:44:23 PM UTC, Francesco Raimondi wrote: > > Greetings everyone, > > Real n00b to puppet here.
