ordering problem starting agent vs configuring agent;

[russ-te2]

Looks like you start the agent before the configuration step, which renders it a no-op.
You might want to move;

• • name: Start the AlertLogic Agent service
• service: name=al-agent state=started enabled=yes
• tags: install_al_agent
• when: not al_agent_for_imaging

into the last step in configure_agent, this is what I needed to do to have agents respect the
--host configuration option, restarting the agent did not help.
