Smart Agent appdcli

Hi everyone,

I am testing the Smart Agent appdcli utility and encountered an issue. When I try to UPGRADE a machine agent by running the following command:

  • appd upgrade machine --inventory hosts.ini --connection ssh --config config.ini --version latest

The agent starts communicating with the Controller, but ServerMonitoring fails (see figure_1). 

However, when I try to INSTALL the same agent and version by the following command:

  • appd install machine --inventory hosts.ini --connection ssh --config config.ini --version latest

Everything works fine (see figure_2). Do you have any idea why? 
The problem only appears when I upgrade a machine agent running on Linux (Ubuntu-23.10 [mantic]). On Windows, I have not encountered this issue.
Regards, Lukas
