when I stop the ambari-agent the pid file in this location vanishes and it gets recreated when I start it again. In the log file, I see these messages, p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Menlo} span.s1 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures} INFO 2016-12-03 12:28:22,523 AmbariConfig.py:260 - Updating config property (agent.check.remote.mounts) with value (false) INFO 2016-12-03 12:28:22,523 AmbariConfig.py:260 - Updating config property (agent.auto.cache.update) with value (true) INFO 2016-12-03 12:28:22,523 AmbariConfig.py:260 - Updating config property (agent.check.mounts.timeout) with value (0) WARNING 2016-12-03 12:28:22,524 AlertSchedulerHandler.py:91 - There are no alert definition commands in the heartbeat; unable to update definitions INFO 2016-12-03 12:28:22,524 Controller.py:387 - Registration response from vnode-109-16.rb.com was OK INFO 2016-12-03 12:28:22,524 Controller.py:392 - Resetting ActionQueue...
