Error: "Initialize Agent failed". Sorry... I don't see any additional information, only this error message...

Failed build:

It's not the first time that I see this issue.

Ah, I found more info:

##[Error 1]
The agent: Hosted Agent lost communication with the server. Verify the machine is running and has a healthy network connection. For more information, see: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=846610 

##[Error 2]
The request was failed due to an internal service error. Please try again.

I'll pass it along in case someone is collecting statistics on the team, but unless it's consistently broken for us (e.g. as apt-get was recently) there's not much value in opening a bug. Transient failures occur, ultimately, and nobody needs encouragement to add the "re-run check" feature besides GitHub (and their response is to use the new UI, which is also a top priority for Pipelines right now).

Victor, if you'd like your account enabled to be able to restart builds though the Azure DevOps page, send me your Microsoft Account email(live.com/hotmail.com/etc) and I'll happily add you. But I'm still not sure whether that hooks up properly with GitHub's checks.

I didn't see the failure recently, so I close the issue.
