Docker version 1.12.1, build 23cf638
Rancher 1.1.0
rancher/agent:v1.0.2
rancher/agent-instance:v0.8.3
I’m trying to add a load balancer but it keeps restarting then at some point it dies
the agent gives me this :
time=“2016-09-22T22:19:21Z” level=“warning” msg="Rancher state watcher returned with error. Waiting 0 and then restarting. Error that caused exit: Failed health check."
time=“2016-09-22T22:20:19Z” level=“warning” msg="Rancher state watcher returned with error. Waiting 2 and then restarting. Error that caused exit: Failed health check."

When you say it’s not starting, is it stuck in initializing? Typically, this happens cause your cross host communication is broken.
Please check out our FAQs to try looking into cross host communication issues.
