I have a server I am unable to get the elastic agent to run on.
When running the elastic-agent commands I am not finding much relevant in my searches.
Error: failed to communicate with Elastic Agent daemon: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing dial unix /var/lib/elastic-agent/data/tmp/elastic-agent-control.sock: connect: no such file or directory"
root@vmjamadb:/etc/elastic-agent# elastic-agent inspect
no fleet config retrieved yet
I do not understand the logs well enough to get past this.

I successfully enroll the server to the Elastic Cloud fleet server, however it sits at updating and never progresses.
This may or may not be unrelated, but I have a second Ubuntu 14.04 server I am unable to get the elastic agent working on.
For the elastic agent commands, I get the same results as above.
Here's this log file:

I had another error that appeared earlier in the day, however after restarting the service, I did not have another log file like this. I could have fixed this, or this could be the underlying cause for why this won't work.
