tuf error, failed to decode root.json

[ChrisHardie]

For the last few days I've been seeing this error go by in my logs:

Unable to update do-agent: Update: Error initializing repository: tuf: failed to decode root.json: expired at 2017-07-22 15:27:54 +0000 UTC

The do-agent binary was last updated on July 19 and that's about when the issue started. It sounds like tuf is trying to reference a file/resource that is somehow considered expired.

Looks like others are seeing the same: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/do-agent-unable-to-update

Any advice?

I have this exact issue. It is appear on all my droplets (I have 6) - every hour, every droplet since similar time to @ChrisHardie.

I've tried forcing an update (already on 0.5.0) and uninstall/reinstalling etc - nothing solves it.

I have the same issue on our production server. Also tried to reinstall the agent which didn't help.

Fix is inflight. We don't have an update to the agent right now (0.5.0 is the latest), so the message is noise. But I am going to fix it this week :

@utlemming until now I didn't received data in the Graph in DO for my droplet affected by this issue. However since now one or two days I can see data in the Graph section. Was it linked to this issue?

While I still see the tuf error to decode root.json but I get reporting... Every hours I can still see the same error:
Unable to update do-agent: Update: Error initializing repository: tuf: failed to decode root.json: expired at 2017-07-22 15:27:54 +0000 UTC

Tuf is an update framework which is seperate from the reporting of graphs. If you are not seeing Graphs, please reach out to support; the two issues are seperate. The root.json expiration just means that the agent will not update to the next version. Since there is no next version yet, its a cosmetic issue for now.

@utlemming thanks for the clarification.

Thank you all for your patience. I've confirmed that the fix is rolled out. Your agents should see the fix shortly.
