+.Adding a {fleet-server} integration to an agent results in panic if the agent was not bootstrapped with a {fleet-server}
+[%collapsible]
+====
+
+*Details*
+
+A panic occurs because the {agent} does not have a `fleet.server` in the `fleet.enc`
+configuration file. When this happens, the agent fails with a message like:
+
+[source,shell]
+----
+panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
+[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x8 pc=0x557b8eeafc1d]

+github.com/elastic/elastic-agent/internal/pkg/agent/application.FleetServerComponentModifier.func1({0xc000652f00, 0xa, 0x10}, 0x557b8fa8eb92?)
+...
+----
+
+For more information, refer to {agent-issue}2170[#2170].
+
+*Impact* +
+
+To work around this problem, uninstall the {agent} and install it again with
+{fleet-server} enabled during the bootstrap process.
