Supported operating systems
Supported platform Copied
ITRS Opsview supports the following Linux distributions for your Opsview Monitor environment. You must verify that your intended platform is supported in the list below prior to installation.
Note
For optimal performance and guaranteed support, we strongly recommend deploying Opsview with all components on the same version. Running components from different versions, such as a 6.8.x Orchestrator with 6.7.x collectors, or using a component in version 6.8.5 with another component in version 6.8.2, is not supported.
Upgrading all Opsview components to the latest version is recommended for a mixed-environment. Also, minor version differences may exist between Opsview components, but this is normal as not all packages update every release. As long as your repository is current and no updates are available, this helps ensure Opsview runs properly and avoids compatibility issues.

| Debian | 10.x (Buster) | 64-bit | Supported | Unsupported |
| CentOS | 7.x | 64-bit | Supported | Supported |
| RHEL | 7.x | 64-bit | Supported | Supported |

The Opsview Monitor software is tested against all latest package updates to include major fixes and security updates across all distributions. It is recommended you ensure that your target platform has the most up-to-date packages, fixes and so on. Furthermore, ensure you use the latest stable release of your distribution unless stated elsewhere in your documentation that is needed to successfully run Opsview Monitor.

Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Copied
Opsview Monitor will run on specific FIPS-compliant operating systems with FIPS mode enabled (see the support table above). Different packages may be installed on FIPS-enabled systems. This is managed automatically by opsview-deploy, so you can follow the usual installation instructions.
Note
To enable FIPS on a system which already has Opsview installed, please contact the Customer Success team.
