Opsview 6.9.x End of Support

Opsview versions 6.9.x reached their End of Support (EOS) status at the end of January 2026, in accordance with our Support policy. As of this date, these versions no longer receive code fixes, security updates, maintenance releases, or backported changes.

The documentation for version 6.9.7 and earlier releases will remain accessible for reference, but it will no longer be updated or maintained. We strongly recommend upgrading to the latest supported version of Opsview to ensure continued support and access to the latest features and security enhancements.

Agent security

Opsview Agent End of Support

The Opsview Agent is no longer supported or available for download. All new and existing monitoring must now be deployed using the ITRS Infrastructure Agent.

ITRS Infrastructure Agent Security Copied

Opsview Monitor has the capability of a secure method of communication to the ITRS Infrastructure Agent. Using SSL certificates offers encryption and authentication, so both the client and server know that they are indeed talking to each other, and not a man-in-the-middle. For more information, see the PKI documentation.

Opsview and the Infrastructure Agent must be using the same using ciphers and SSL certificates. See Infrastructure Agent Operation for more configuration on the agent side, and the below for configuration on the Opsview side.

The certificates can be generated using any valid method; however, the simplest way to get started is by using the Opsview Public Key Infrastructure. You can follow these steps in PKI to generate both client and server certificates.

Host Variables Copied

We have added default parameters to every check_nrpe-based Service Check that comes with Opsview Monitor. If you check their definitions, you will see two Host variables, NRPE_CIPHERS and NRPE_CERTIFICATES. You must add these variables yourself if you are upgrading from an older version of Opsview Monitor. To do this add these two variables:

NRPE_CIPHERS Copied

• Label Arg1: “Cipher list”
• Default Arg1: Optional default cipher list to pass into check_nrpe. For example, HIGH:!3DES:!CAMELLIA:!AES128:!eNULL:!aNULL:!ADH:!EXP:!LOW:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!SRP:!DSS.

NRPE_CERTIFICATES Copied

• Label Arg1: “Path to certificate”
• Label Arg2: “Path to private key”
• Label Arg3: “Path to CA certificate”

For each check_nrpe based service check that is to be used with the new feature, add these parameters:
