Problem updating legacy agent to OPs agent

[D- wocs]

Running single instance e2-Micro, followed instruction to install it using cloud shell. Installation seems successful, but the agent still shows legacy. Anyone else run into this issue yet, how did you fix it?

Hello,

I was wondering if you could provide me with the documentation(link) that you followed and as well the exact command that you used? This may help me find a solution to your issue.

When logged in GCP > monitoring > dashboard > instance 

If you have a legacy agent, when you check the box on the left of the instance it provides you with an option above the instance to install agent as shown in the attached picture.

Here it is, removed project and instance name from command.

:> agents_to_install.csv && \
echo '"<autogenerated project and instance name removed>","[{""type"":""ops-agent""}]"' >> agents_to_install.csv && \
curl -sSO https://dl.google.com/cloudagents/mass-provision-google-cloud-ops-agents.py && \
python3 mass-provision-google-cloud-ops-agents.py --file agents_to_install.csv

I also tried using this guide when that failed but no success.

Thanks.

I have been looking for more information about this issue, I was wondering if you removed the Legacy agent before attempting to upgrade to the Ops Agent as per the instructions here[1]?
