Installing the latest Ops Agent returns Legacy Agent Status

jp flag

GCP Compute Engine OS: Ubuntu 18.04.5, 18.04.6, 20.04.1

After Ops Agent Installation through the install button within Monitoring Console, the installation process completes swiftly. However, checking the Agent status says it's a Legacy Agent. I tried to re-install, this time directly to the compute instance by following the instruction based on the link below and yet the issue persists. I've tried installing again via the "Install/Upgrade" button but nothing happened.

As a point of comparison, since maybe this is just an isolated case, I've tried installing the Ops Agent to another two(2) instances within the same project but the same thing happened.

Does anyone experience the same issue?

Did you get it installed and working? My Ubuntu 22.04 shows "active'" for the ● google-cloud-ops-agent.service - Google Cloud Ops Agent, but "failed" for × google-cloud-ops-agent-fluent-bit.service - Google Cloud Ops Agent - Logging Agent and the other agents (metrics and diagnostics). I also had the legacy agent installed but removed it long ago. I've adjusted way too many variables from IAM roles to json keys to enabling and disabling apis. I just found and enabled Cloud Monitoring API. I disabled Stackdriver Monitoring API and then re-enabled it. Still shows "missing agent" status.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
