Description:
The ssh software Reflection for Secure IT does not allow the ssh-keygen -l -f options that OpenSSH does, leading to a failed insert when the agent attempts to get the hostid for agent identification, to insert into mysql.inventory

How to repeat:
Install Reflection, then install the agent. It will not be able to connect to the Dashboard.

Suggested fix:
Make agent aware of Reflection and Reflection's -F option, that does what -l -f does in OpenSSH.
ssh-keygen is still the binary to run.
