Verify there is network connectivity between the reporting system and IP address in the first message. It's likely just a transient network error.

Ping is success.I am not seeing any connectivity issue.

[richgalloway]

Ping is a poor measure of connectivity because it doesn't consider the destination port. Use telnet, curl, traceroute, ncat, or some other tool that can make a connection to port 8999.
