Course: Elastic Observability Engineer On-Demand  
Version: ID: E-J0E990  
Question: In lab 2.1, after installing and enrolling the elastic agent to the host, the fleet server reflects that the agent is stuck in "updating" state.

 ![Screenshot 2023-09-23 151920](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/8/589c75d977aae66959d878966e5277ecab6eea68.jpeg)

On the host, the status of the elastic agent is shown as healthy.  
elastic@ip-172-31-21-123:~$ sudo elastic-agent status  
Status: HEALTHY  
Message: (no message)  
Applications: (none)

Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thanks.

The Agent logs, you can collect them using `elastic-agent diagnostics collect`

You can also try restarting the agent to see if it fixes the issue.
