Hi @balajis ! Welcome to Netdata ! Looks like something off with the installation… How did you install? Kickstart script ? Can you try to re-install ? You can try by passing the `--reinstall` flag to the kickstart script. ---

Hi @Manolis_Vasilakis , I have installed through kickstart script. Even reinstall doesn’t work. Could you please help on this? ---

Sure! Can you please post the output (or maybe upload it somewhere) of the kickstart script? Do you get the same errors when you try to run the agent?
