Hello Folks,

One of our agents is listed in the list of "Available Agents" in the
OSSEC GUI as "Inactive"

Attempted Resolution:

(1) I logged into the OSSEC server host, ran /var/ossec/bin/
manage_agents to get the index ID of the host - say 140
(2) On the OSSEC server host, I went into /var/ossec/queue/rids and
deleted the file 140
(3) I restarted OSSEC on the OSSEC server host

(4) On the OSSEC agent host,  I went into /var/ossec/queue/rids and
deleted the file 140
(3) I restarted OSSEC on the OSSEC agent

This procedure works 100% of the time. Until today i.e. running /var/
ossec/bin/agent_control -i 140 still shows the agent as "Disconnected"

As a side note, I don't think anyone screwed with firewall access
lists because our SNMP polling still correctly shows the agent host as
operational. How should I troubleshoot this>

Thanks,
