Question

do-agent exited with a return code 100

Hi there,

Lately, I’ve been getting messages at the start of every month to my root email with the following message after updating the DigitalOcean monitoring agent:

run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/do-agent exited with return code 100

Do I need to be concerned with this? I tried Googling, but there is no information about a return code 100 on here.

I’m having the same issue lately.

I run time /bin/bash -x /opt/digitalocean/do-agent/scripts/update.sh to find out about the problem.

Created a db dump and a restore point.

Then needed to reinstall mysql-server by running these

sudo apt-get purge mysql-server
sudo apt-get install mysql-server

@terresquall I hope you’ve figured a fix by now, but if not, the following post seems promising: https://costinstefan.eu/how-to-fix-do-agent-exited/

I’m having trouble with this as well, my first indication being early this morning. I’ve not yet worked through the same steps as the author of the post I linked, but I will soon.
