Has anyone successfully set up a collector and monitored RHEL6? RHEL7 and above work without fail, but 6 does not have all the command sets. Other monitoring products can integrate with 6, but I don...

NeophyteHi Brian,
Are you trying to install a collector on RHEL6 or monitor a RHEL6 server, or both maybe?

NeophyteTrying to monitor, I’m told I don’t have access to old agents to deploy on this platform

If you are simply trying to monitor the server, vs installing a collector on it, I would suggest looking into SNMP monitoring. That standard won't change as much if at all compared to SSH based monitoring for Linux.

Yup, that would be best in my view too, just use SNMP

My team states that monitoring with snmp does not give access to process or thread states on rhel6 like it does on rhel7, this is the issue, I need to be able to see Java memory or capacity issues and then restart the process if necessary

Technically, you could get that with SNMP, but I would assume this is beyond your teams skill level currently.
You would need to do SSH based monitoring then. You can add the server into monitoring and provide ssh.user and ssh.pass onto the device without adding it as a collector, you need to pick a collector that can ssh into that specific device.
There might be issues with untrusted cypher suites so you will probably have to open a support ticket on that.

Agents? LogicMonitor is an agentless monitoring system. If this concept is new to you, I would suggest taking some of the free training courses available in your portal on adding a device and the concept around collectors vs devices.

Sorry, I meant collector
