CMK version: CheckMK 2.2.0 CEE
OS version: Debian 12

Hey guys

On one of my instances I get the following error since today while tying to bake new agents.

Error message:

Exception: Error running automation call bake-agents (exit code 1), error: 
ERROR: Error on creating msi file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/omd/sites/sitename/var/check_mk/agents/.files_cache/a3e5d09565047524/windows/checkmk.dat', work_dir is /omd/sites/sitename/tmp/msi-update.oga_qqr4

More information can be found in ~/var/log/web.log

Any ideas?

Remove this folder and try again to bake the agents.

Maybe this errors comes from the deletion of the .files_cache folder?

I moved the further error to a new topic - maybe it’s a different problem:

Normally not - the cache folder is build if not existing. Empty site has not such folder.

When I compare the new installed check-mk agent to one of a server where everything is working fine, a lot of files are missing in the “/var/lib/cmk-agent/” folder:

The affected system:

cmk-agent/
└── scripts
    └── super-server
        ├── 0_systemd
        │   ├── cmk-update-agent.service
        │   └── cmk-update-agent.timer
        └── setup

One server without issues:

cmk-agent/
├── cmk-agent-ctl.gz
├── cmk-agent-ctl.toml
├── registered_connections.json
└── scripts
    ├── cmk-agent-useradd.sh
    └── super-server
        ├── 0_systemd
        │   ├── check-mk-agent-async.service
        │   ├── check-mk-agent@.service
        │   ├── check-mk-agent.socket
        │   ├── check-mk-agent.socket.fallback
        │   ├── cmk-agent-ctl-daemon.service
        │   ├── cmk-update-agent.service
        │   ├── cmk-update-agent.timer
        │   └── setup
        ├── 1_xinetd
        │   └── setup
        └── setup
