i have noticed that after a power outage or unexpected shutdown the server can not communicate with the agents although they are running and only restart to the agent's service solves the problem.
i have to mention that i have installed the agents with the "download agent configuration file from server upon startup" and there is no configuration configured.
i also need to mention that the agents got started but the server not so maybe lack of communication to server stall them.
will enabling the watchdog solve this problem ? does it checks to see if the server is up and the agent is communicating with it ?
