I am too getting the same message & error as,

err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: getaddrinfo: Name
or service not known
err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run
err: Could not send report: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

Can anyone assist how cache cache can be achieve on the nodes.

Thanks
