Hello,
I am using the AWS EC2 plugin to manage EC2 build agents. I have it set up to have a max of 2 agents with 3 build executors each. When everything is working, it works great. However, I frequently have to delete agents and spin up new ones because they randomly get disconnected.

I’ve tried “Connect by SSH process” and without. I’ve tried allowing ICMP via the security group. I’ve tried connect by IP and connect by DNS name. All this and it still persists. I’ve even set jenkins.ec2.bootstrapAuthSleepMs and jenkins.ec2.bootstrapAuthTries to 30000 and 30, respectively, according to another post I saw, and it hasn’t helped.
Are there any other settings I can change or things I can check to see what the problem is?
I am on 2.440.2 btw, and my controller is also running in EC2.
