Linux OS agent (LZ) suddenly stops registering with APM server

How To


Summary

If you use scripts to upgrade APM agents, you can inadvertently change the hostname from uppercase to lowercase, or from lowercase to uppercase.

Unix and Linux are case sensitive. Changing the hostname case changes the association of agent properties with the hostname. Consequently, the agent suddenly stops registering with the APM server.

This article shows you how to diagnose this scenario and restore connectivity.
