Process Agent - Error: Failed to send RPC command to <remote PA>

Troubleshooting


Problem

The local Process Agent (PA) has been configured to get status of processes managed by remote Process Agents.
Sometimes the local PA log is giving these errors:
Warning: Lost connection during RPC call attempt.
Warning: Failed to drop command structure.
Error: Failed to send RPC command to <remote PA>
Error: Connection marked as dead during vaild, open connection check.

Symptom

The output of nco_pa_status is showing remote processes as DEAD when those processes are up and running on the remote box.
