Cant claim node

Help
1

Good day,

Im unable to claim node:

The cloud may have different credentials already registered for this agent ID and it cannot be reclaimed under different credentials for security reasons. If you are unable to connect use -id=$(uuidgen) to overwrite this agent ID with a fresh value if the original credentials cannot be restored.
Failed to claim node with the following error message:“already claimed”
FAILED

I deleted cloud.d directory from /var/lib/netdata/
and I did launch command with -id=$(uuidgen) like this:

bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh) --claim-token xxx --claim-rooms xxx --claim-url https://app.netdata.cloud -id=$(uuidgen)

But still I cant claim node.

What else should I do?

Thanks.

Hi @Ezols ,

Thank you for reaching out!

Could you please share the logs of your latest attempt? Does the “already claimed” message still appear after you deleted the /var/lib/netdata/cloud.d/ directory?

Kind regards,
Christos

Hi,

Yes I deleted cloud.d directory but still I got the same message.

I got this from error.log

Thank you for the reply @Ezols !

Could you please run an “ls -l” command on /var/lib/netdata/cloud.d after deleting the claimed_id file to verify it is actually deleted and send us the output before attempting to run the script again?

Also, please try to make sure that there are no running netdata agent process when attempting to delete this file.

Hi Ezols!

Can you try running netdata-claim.sh script ? It should be in your path if Netdata was installed system-wide or under /usr/sbin/.

Pass the parameters you had for the kickstart.sh script as follows:

netdata-claim.sh -token=XXX -rooms=XXX -url=XXX -id=$(uuidgen)

The netdata-claim.sh is what kickstart also calls eventually, but it seems the -id parameter might not be handled there.

Thanks!
