Trouble Updating Tier, Application, & Node Names for Node with App & Machine Agent

Hello, I'm having trouble updating tier, application, and node names for multiple servers hosting app & machine agents.  After making the configuration changes and restarting all Java Agent instances/services, we receive the errors shown below in the logs.

Could anyone help interpret what the logs indicate?  Has anyone seen this issue or know what the problem is?  Please let me know if additional details would be helpful.

Hi @Jay.Smith,

Since the logs kicked out a few errors, you can try searching for those errors across the community and look for posts with those same errors. When I searched the first error, I found quite a few, but they seemed to be focused on the Java agent and not the machine agent.
