Can you try to reinstall it on the node that's causing a problem,you will first need to stop the agent, then run the below commands.

# yum install epel-release
# yum erase ambari-agent
# yum install -y ambari-agent

Then edit the ambari-agent.ini, and under the Server change the host to your Ambari server FQDN

vi /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini

[server]
hostname={your.ambari.server.hostname}

Then start the agent.

This should resolve the problem

Please check if you have the following file present ?

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ambari_agent/AmbariConfig.py

.

Also if you have performed any ambari agent/server upgrade then chances are very high that these files might not be upgraded properly. If you still find any issue then try reinstalling ambari agent.
