Thank you for posting to the community.

Could you please delete the file below and restart the machine agent?
/opt/appdynamics/machine-agent/monitors/analytics-agent/analytics-agent.id
 
The stale pid file can cause the error.
If this doesn't fix the issue, could you please check errors in analytics-agent.log?

Best Regards,
Hiroki
