Agent 1.27 update issues

Help
1

Noticed the same issue on both of my servers when trying to manually update via the kickstart shell script to v1.27, whereby the process hangs at the following, and CPU / RAM + kswapd0 goes crazy.

[user@server]# bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh)
 --- Found existing install of Netdata under: / ---
 --- Attempting to update existing install instead of creating a new one ---
[/etc/netdata]# //usr/libexec/netdata/netdata-updater.sh --not-running-from-cron

Anyone else having the same issue?
Cheers!

You are most likely encountering a bug in the updater script that was recently fixed.

You should be able to update the system in question by adding --reinstall to the end of the kickstart command (this will tell the script to skip trying to run an updater script from an existing install and just do a fresh install while preserving your data and config).
