I think there's a restart button somewhere. It should recreate the VM if it was incorrectly created. i don't think you need to hack around. But may be someone from the @elastic.training team could help. ---

That's corret @dadoonet: there's no need to hack aroud. @ganesh.pawar I have replaced your environment. Please follow lab instructions carefully, because `sudo` access is limited for installing and running the Elastic Agent only. Best, Andre ---

I have problems at this point too. Installation was successfull, but no data will be send. The agent status shows, that there are communication problems. elastic@ip-172-31-2-34:~/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64$ ./elastic-agent status Error: failed to communicate with Elastic Agent daemon: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing dial unix /home/elastic/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64/data/tmp/elastic-agent-control.sock: connect: no such file or directory" For help, please see our troubleshooting guide at [Troubleshoot common problems | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.8/fleet-troubleshooting.html) elastic@ip-172-31-2-34:~/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64$ @elastic.training could you please reset my environment? ---

Hey, I have the same error 🙂 lastic@ip-172-31-2-28:~/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64$ ./elastic-agent status Error: failed to communicate with Elastic Agent daemon: rpc error: code = Unavailable desc = connection error: desc = "transport: Error while dialing dial unix /home/elastic/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64/data/tmp/elastic-agent-control.sock: connect: no such file or directory" For help, please see our troubleshooting guide at [Troubleshoot common problems | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.8] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.8/fleet-troubleshooting.html) elastic@ip-172-31-2-28:~/elastic-agent-8.8.2-linux-x86\_64$ And to get Agent installed I had to add –insecure on the enroll command … Could you please help me on this case ?
