Unable to ping to machine.local but can ping machine

My ubuntu machine name is machine. I am able to do successfully ping machine, but when I do ping machine.local, it doesn't resolve machine.local and gives message

ping: machine.local: Name or service not known

How should I fix this?

Thnaks.

Apart from what @mikhail-zakharov said, I found out that apparently, avahi service was down and I needed to restart. Article at smallbusiness.chron.com/resolving-local-ubuntu-38861.html and https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3258021.

Configure and start MDNS service or add appropriate records to your DNS server or add an antry to your /etc/hosts file
