I have a couple active rancher nodes displaying “RECONNECTING” in the UI. I tried the following:

Deactivated and re-activated via the UI, no dice  
docker stop and rm rancher/agent  
docker run and re-setup the rancher/agent

Unfortunately, I cannot reboot the host itself as this is semi production. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

What OS are you using for your hosts?

What docker version and what Rancher version?
