I have a few Linux servers (varying flavors including Centos and RHEL) that after successful install and service start do no show up in the Device Console. I have made sure ports 443 etc are open, and not having this issue with the other Linux servers I have installed in the same network and vlan.

 

Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello CalllmePH,

A simple troubleshooting command to run is: ‘amagent --checkcompat’
This will kick off a series of validations of the current state of the agent and provides valuable information.

Additionally, please grab the agent log file and we can check to see what the agent is logging to the device itself. ‘cat /var/log/amagent/amagent.log’

Regards

I do also want to mention, our support team was able to determine your device is connected to the console based off the UUID in the logs. It appears to be scanning and reporting normally.

I believe we are seeing an instance of a cloned endpoint. There aren’t enough differences in the OS to make a separate object within Automox:

Sorry for the SUPER late response! Got yanked to other priorities. Confirmed that the machine-id was change per the steps in the KB you linked, however the machine is still not showing by name or ip. I have the log below

I have noticed a few of these in this environment (new to the company) and a lot of the VM’s were cloned so I have a feeling I will be missing more than a few when I finish deploying lol.

Going thru the steps above and then the de-register/reinstall seems to have fixed the issue! Thank you for the help and getting me the Dupe devices link!
