Linux Virtual Machine Agent Status "Not Ready"
Check Azure Monitor Agent: Ensure that the Azure Monitor Agent (formerly known as the Log Analytics Agent) is installed and running on the Linux VM. You can check its status by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status waagent
If it's not running, you may need to start it:
sudo systemctl start waagent
Check if there are any resource locks on the VM or Log Analytics Workspace that might be preventing the agent from functioning correctly.
I am unable to connect to the machine to run those commands. I am trying to use them in the "Run Command" blade of the VM but not having any luck.
This happened erroneously, there were no changes or updates to the VM. Looking at the serial console I see an error related to a wire server, but because im unable to ssh into the machine I cannot troubleshoot any further.
