Forgot to mention that i tried re-installing the elastic agent multiple times. Tried version 8.17.0 and 8.17.3 (currently is on this)  
I also tried using the tar.gz install approach as well the deb package. Tried as well removing and re-adding just the integration to the policy. All those attempts didnt bring any benefit

I also checked this thread [End point security fails for Elastic Agent with error "Missed two check-ins" - #2 by Nick\_Berlin](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/end-point-security-fails-for-elastic-agent-with-error-missed-two-check-ins/297477/2) but my localhost is present in /etc/hosts

In the error.txt from the diagnostics file in the endpoint-default folder i see this error

```auto
diagnostic action timed out, deadline is 20s: context deadline exceeded

```
