This issue in RHEL 7.3  1. We edited the /usr/lib64/cmf/agent/build/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cmf-5.9.0-py2.7.egg/cmf/client_configs.py file 2. Searched for "path, _" and line no 444 3. commented out the #path, _, _, priority_str = line.rstrip().split(" ") line. 4. Added three lines and add one tab at the beginning to match the other lines in the file: thisLine = line.rstrip().split(" ") path = thisLine[0] priority_str = thisLine[-1] 5. The end result should look like: #path, _, _, priority_str = line.rstrip().split(" ") thisLine = line.rstrip().split(" ") path = thisLine[0] priority_str = thisLine[-1] 6 Restarted the agent: sudo service cloudera-scm-agent restart It started working    Thanks Narendar ...
