SSM agent syslog errors

Question

New EC2 Ubuntu 18.04 AMI with IAM role AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore attached. Seeing the following in syslog:  
  
    Aug  2 15:42:00 www amazon-ssm-agent.amazon-ssm-agent\[929]: Error occurred fetching the seelog config file path:  open /etc/amazon/ssm/seelog.xml: no such file or directory  
    Aug  2 15:42:00 www amazon-ssm-agent.amazon-ssm-agent\[929]: 2019-08-02 15:42:00 ERROR Error adding the directory to watcher: no such file or directory  
  
Should there be an /etc/amazon/ directory in the system? There currently isn't. Have tried rebooting system and restarting amazon-ssm-agent.

Answer

Hi,  
I solved doing these steps  
  
#mkdir /tmp/ssm  
#systemctl stop snap.amazon-ssm-agent.amazon-ssm-agent.service  
#systemctl start snap.amazon-ssm-agent.amazon-ssm-agent.service  
  
And check you have activity in the log file tail -f /var/log/amazon/ssm/amazon-ssm-agent.log  
  
If you are not sure, using console go to AWS System Manager --> Managed Instances and check it.  
  
Regards.
