Hello, when I try to install the fleet server on the machine I receive this error: ```auto sudo ./elastic-agent install \--fleet-server-es=http://10.211.55.7:9200 \--fleet-server-service-token=AAEAAWVsYXN0aWMvZmxlZXQtc2VydmVyL3Rva2VuLTE2Njc3MzM0ODk1OTI6czBsQm1xcVRSZHlsOXd3QnJ6T1dqZw \--fleet-server-policy=fleet-server-policy \--fleet-server-es-ca=/etc/kibana/ca/ca.crt Elastic Agent will be installed at /opt/Elastic/Agent and will run as a service.

Previously i produced a Certificate Authorities with the `/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-certutil ca` command and I passed this value in the `fleet-server-es-ca` option above to install elastic agent. I tried also the above command with some variations: ```auto $ sudo ./elastic-agent install \--fleet-server-es=http://10.211.55.7:9200 \--fleet-server-service-token=AAEAAWVsYXN0aWMvZmxlZXQtc2VydmVyL3Rva2VuLTE2Njc3MzM0ODk1OTI6czBsQm1xcVRSZHlsOXd3QnJ6T1dqZw \--fleet-server-policy=fleet-server-policy \--fleet-server-es-ca=/etc/kibana/ca/ca.crt \--fleet-server-es-insecure Elastic Agent will be installed at /opt/Elastic/Agent and will run as a service.

Hi @EExisT, Could you enable debug log levels, retry and provide them? ---

Hi @Cristina_Amico, I think I have to set the agent.logging.level to debug, is it right? Then what I have to do? ---

Usually I've seen this error happening because one of the parameters passed in the enrolment command is not correct. I would check that: - `fleet-server-policy` exists - ES host is reachable. Have you checked that `http://10.211.55.7:9200` is reachable? - The enrolment token is active. You can check this by going to the enrolment tokens tab in fleet or going to dev tools on the left column of kibana and running `GET api/fleet/enrollment_api_keys`. Just to be extra sure, how many enrolment tokens (active and inactive) do you have? ---

Hi Cristina, in the meantime I tried to install fleet by deb package and it goes well. But naturally this is only a workaround... ---
