Hi, likely one of the agents had an issue, please check pbm agent logs in the other nodes for clues.

Hi very likely you are hitting a bug with oplog dump/upload. We’ve fixed a few of them since PBM 2.3.1 and made the process able to auto-retry if fails. I suggest you upgrade ASAP to latest PBM 2.9.0 and try again.

Thanks alot for the answer!

Can you tell me what version its fixed in? because we are running mongodb 5.0 right now, and cant just upgrade to 6,7,8 right away. so i could hope its fixed in pbm 2.7.0?

Even in 2.7.0 I believe most of them are fixed so I suggest you upgrade. You can check the release notes for more info.
