Hi Chris,
If the pyagent proxy "watchdog" is looping, likely what's happening is that the Java process is not starting up properly. We want to recursively check the permissions on each of these directories: /tmp/appd, the Python module directory. The user which runs the Python process and the pyagent proxy command should have read execute on both. Let me know if that helps!
Regards,
Kyle

Hey Kyle
Thanks for the note.
I'm running within a python3.6 virtual env, created by my user to which i have full permissions. The /tmp/appd dir and children again are all belonging to my user.
I've spent a couple of hours trying things with no joy. I'm wondering if it's related to the loading of python path incorrectly, and using another version that requires root privileges
Cheers
Chris

I know this is an old post, but did you ever find a resolution for this? I am seeing the same issue with the loop of the pyagent process going defunct then the watchdog spinning up a new one.

Hi Jeremy,
These issues are usually due to the proxy process not being able to start. In the watchdog logs you should have a command line printed out that's trying to run. Please try to run that separately and see if there are any errors.

I found my issue, posting it here in case anyone else has similar issues.
After I installed the agent via pip, I had to set execute permissions on:
<path to my virtualenv>/lib64/python3.6/site-ackages/appdynamics_bindeps/proxy/runProxy
<path to my virtualenv>/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/appdynamics_proxysupport/java
