2.7.0.6 version of waagent does not start automatically after VM reboot in Azure. Is this expected?
This is seen on Oracle Linux 7.9 and 8.6 with WALinuxAgent-2.7.0.6-1.el7.noarch.rpm.

With [v2.6.0.2] that is not the case, waagent starts automatically upon VM reboot.

@kirancheparthi No, this is not expected. Please check the system logs for errors.

@jithinjosepkl How does #2647 address this issue?

@narrieta - Sorry, it was a typo. Right one is #2645. Can we get some eyes on the PR? Is that the right approach?

narrieta commented

@jithinjosepkl thanks for correcting the link. But how does that PR address the issue of the agent not starting on Oracle Linux?

I don't see any error messages related to waagent in syslog. When I check the status, it shows loaded and inactive.

systemctl status waagent

● waagent.service - Azure Linux Agent
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/waagent.service; disabled; vendor pr>
Active: inactive (dead)

Is there a status on the resolution of this issue?

narrieta commented

@kirancheparthi from the status you posted, it looks like the waagent service is disabled on your VM, so it won't start on boot. Try enabling the service,
