Issue/Introduction

If an image of a VM that has a CloudHealth agent is created, the agent is also copied to the image.  When an new VM is spun up from that image, the CH agent will be configured and running.  To verify this in the new virtual machine, search the services for cht (CloudHealth):

ps –eaf | grep cht

There should be a chtcollectd and cht_perfmon service running.  If these services are not running, restart them with the following commands. 

sudo /etc/init.d/cht_perfmon restart
sudo /etc/init.d/chtcollectd restart
