Hello

I have some mender-connect installations on Ubuntu 20 Server which stop working after a while.

mender-connect version is 1.2.0 and runtime: go1.14.7  
mender version is 3.0.0 and runtime: go1.14.7  
Both are installed from offical Mender repo without manual configuration of the config files - defaults are set.

Beside the troubleshoot icon/access button I see for one machine: The troubleshoot add-on is not currently connected on this device, it was last connected on 2021-10-20 03:41.

journalctl -u mender-connect show in that case:

What can I do here please?

Restart of mender-connect solves the problem for while.

Thanks for any feedback, Peter
