RHEL 6

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 dont see anything on our side.

Any help would be apreaciated.

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

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

        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.

  • While RHEL 6 isn't end of life to Red Hat, it has been for most people for awhile now. With the move to non root and using user space systemd, I imagine that is the issue with the collector. Try installing the oldest one you can from the version drop down.

    Also note, your time maybe better spent on migrating away from RHEL as it is end of life in 3 months.

  • I haven't tried a collector on RHEL6 (have very few Linux collectors anyway), but can you monitoring that server from a RHEL7 or other server instead?
