Agent not showing as online in manager

Hello,
We've deployed NXLog EE agents on numerous Windows servers, and we're facing a strange issue with just one agent.
It does not, and we're unable to get it to, show as online within the NXLog Manager. The agent's log states that it was able to successfully connect to the manager, but it's still showing as offline in the UI.

I have tried the following:

  • Upgraded agent to the latest version
  • Verified that the agent's logs said it was able to connect to the manager (10.40.1.90)
  • Removed the agent from the manager interface
  • Removed the agent off of the server
  • Reinstalled the agent on the server, and reconfigured the certificate and managed.conf file
  • Verified that it connected to the manager in the agent's logs

And even after all of that, the agent is still showing as offline on the manager's UI.

Does anyone have an idea as to what's going on here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
