Hi 

I have an issue with one of the host servers. This issue is rather strange. 
Perhaps someone can help me with understanding how this happened and how to fix 
it. 

About 3 days ago one of the KVM host servers ran out of disk space on its root 
partition. I have fixed the issue and reconnected the agent by running 'service 
cloudstack-agent restart'. 

I've noticed that the host server is still showing Disconnected status in the 
web gui. The agent log files repeat the following 3 lines every 10 or so 
seconds: 

2018-10-22 12:50:54,339 INFO [cloud.agent.AgentShell] (main:null) (logid:) 
Agent started 
2018-10-22 12:50:54,343 INFO [cloud.agent.AgentShell] (main:null) (logid:) 
Implementation Version is 4.11.1.0 
2018-10-22 12:50:54,345 INFO [cloud.agent.AgentShell] (main:null) (logid:) 
agent.properties found at /etc/cloudstack/agent/agent.properties 


looking further revealed that the file is 0 bytes: 

-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 20 06:39 agent.properties 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8890 Jul 6 14:01 agent.properties.dpkg-dist 

Something has replaced the original agent.properties file. The 
creation/modification dates of the agent.properties file on other KVM host 
servers are all different (times and dates). As I always upgrade the host 
servers at the same time, this led me to believe that agent.properties file is 
automatically generated or modified by some script or service that is running 
on the host server or perhaps the modification is pushed from the management 
server to the agent. 

As the server is in the Disconnected state I can't migrate servers and virtual 
routers from that host server and I can't set it to Maintenance either. 

How do I manually force the creation / update of the agent.properties file on 
that host server? The challenge is that vms /vrs which are running on that host 
server are production servers and they should keep running without shutting 
down. 

Thanks for any tips/help.
