@Manoj690 

Can you please try this:

Try changing the "ping_port" of ambari agent in the following file: (default port is 8670 may be try changing it to 8671 or something unused)

# grep '8670' /etc/ambari-agent/conf/ambari-agent.ini
ping_port=8670


After changing the port please try this:

# netstat -tnlpa | grep 8670
# kill -9 $PID_from_above_command 
# rm -f /var/run/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.pid
# ambari-agent start

Hi @Manoj690 ,

 

Try to find the ambari agent pid and kill is manually.

Below cmds will usefull

# ps aux | grep main.py | grep -v grep

# kill PID

 

Once the process is killed then you can start the agent.

 

Please accept the answer once issue resolved.
