Hello, I am new to Kibana synthetic monitoring, I have configured monitoring with Journey in 2 locations, one local and one in the cloud.
The one that is in the cloud is running without problems.
But for the local one, it is giving the following error.
_"journey did not finish executing, 0 steps ran: command '/usr/share/elastic-agent/.node/node/bin/elastic-synthetics elastic-synthetics --playwright-options {"page":{"setDefaultTimeout": 120}} --screenshots on --throttling {"download":5,"latency":20,"upload":3} --inline --rich-events' exited unexpectedly with code: 1"_
It should be noted that until last week, it was running without problems in both locations.
Thanks for the help.

Hi @HOrellana03,
Thanks for your interest in Synthetics!
This type of error is most commonly related to private location setup misconfigurations preventing elastic-synthetics from running. What platform is this private location running on (docker, k8s, etc)? If running in a containerized environment, what is its setup for uid/gid/fs permissions?
Also to discard some easy stuff, if you're using any string interpolation assignment, eg: `"my string ${mystring}`, please refactor it for string concatenation -\> `"my string "+ mystring` as `${}` is not supported atm and its known for breaking journey code.
