Hi Srinivas,

Thanks for posting the question on the Community. 

Could you try to remove the 'agent-runtime-dir' xml tag from the agent controller-info.xml file, and restart the agent to check the results?

If it does not work, could you try to put below jvm option to see the results?

-Dappdynamics.agent.runtime.dir

Also, could you share your machine agent version? 

Let me know if this helped you.

Many thanks,

Naoto
