Grafana Agent service failed

Hi,

I am attempting to setup the Asterisk integration for Grafana Cloud.

I have run the provided command to install and run Grafana agent.

It appears to be successful:

— Using package system rpm. Downloading and installing package for amd64

######################################################################## 100.0%

— Verifying package checksum

grafana-agent-0.33.2-1.amd64.rpm: OK

— Retrieving config and placing in /etc/grafana-agent.yaml

— Enabling and starting grafana-agent.service

Grafana Agent is now running!

However, when I check status I am seeing an error ‘Failed to start Monitoring system and forwarder’ Unit grafana-agent. service entered failed state and grafana-agent.service failed.

[root@ip146 ~]# sudo systemctl status grafana-agent.service

Unsurprisingly when I run the test agent connection it fails.

Any idea why the grafana agent is failing?

Thanks
