Hi,

I created a custom elastic image in AWS and started the instance from Bamboo Ondemand. The instance starts up, however the elastic-agent status is always "Pending". Looking at the logs, it is clear that the there is some issue with the file "bamboo-agent.cfg.xml". However this file is empty in the AWS instance.

The log file says:

[Fatal Error] :-1:-1: Premature end of file. Exiting due to fatal exception.

Please help....

Complete log is below:

Facing same issue. So many posts for the same question. Elastic agent stuck on 'pending' status. How do I make it online? Am using bamboo onDemand? Can I log the issue?

I am stuck on the same issue. Can't log the issue since I am using Bamboo onDemand.
Status gets stuck to pending and then the instance gets terminated.

Hi Joji,

One possibility here is that the user account running the Bamboo instance does not have permission to access the required config file. Could you please double check that Bamboo service is run with administrator permissions and that Bamboo user can access the config file and directory in which it's held.

If this is not your issue could you please visit support.atlassian.comand create a support request so we can further assist you?

Thanks!

Turner

Also it's possible that the config file has been removed. So please check that it still exists :)
