When I try to run the ECS agent, I get the following error in the ecs-init.log*:
[INFO] Agent exited with code 5
[ERROR] agent exited with terminal exit code
And in the ecs-agent.log* file I get this:
[CRITICAL] Data mismatch; saved cluster 'cluster1' does not match configured cluster 'cluster2'. Perhaps you want to delete the configured checkpoint file?
Any idea where is that checkpoint file?
I found the answer myself. The checkpoint file is located in this directory: /var/lib/ecs/data/ecs_agent_data.json
.
Just delete that json file and start the ECS agent again running start ecs
.
Thanks to this forum post, which indirectly led me to the answer: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=625643

sudo rm /var/lib/ecs/data/agent.db
