No errors occurred while installing the software. There is only an empty directory amazon-cloudwatch-agent.d in the etc directory. After manually editing the configuration file amazon-cloudwatch-agent.json and starting the agent, an error is reported but there is no "/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/etc/common-config.toml" ” Is it a problem with this version?
I was not able to reproduce the issue with on a new EC2 instance and downloading version 1.300032.2b361-1 or the latest release.

If the common-config.toml file was deleted, running sudo dpkg -i -E ./amazon-cloudwatch-agent.deb will not recreate it. You will need to do a fresh re-install (sudo dpkg -P amazon-cloudwatch-agent to purge the package before reinstalling). Would recommend moving your JSON configuration file outside of the agent directories as well.
