Withdraw of the 6.9.2 Release

Unfortunately, due to critical issues identified with version 6.9.2, we have decided to remove it and ensure it's no longer available for download. These issues impacted the ability to install or upgrade but none were security-related. We are diligently working to resolve these issues and are planning to release an updated version 6.9.3 in early May.

What if you've already upgraded?

For customers who have already upgraded to 6.9.2, no immediate action is required, as none of these issues are security-related. Once it's available, you will still be able to upgrade to 6.9.3 as normal. We appreciate your patience and trust as we continue to enhance our software to better serve you. Thank you for your understanding.

Agents installation

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.

There are three basic approaches to monitoring devices on your network:

• The device sends details into Opsview Monitor when events happen or on a regular schedule. For more information, see SNMP Traps and Passive Checks.
• Opsview Monitor runs checks to test network connectivity to the host and the services it provides. For more information, see Active Checks and SNMP Polling.
• Opsview Monitor talks to an agent installed on the device to see what is happening on the inside.

This document discusses how to achieve the last item in the list.

Using the ITRS Infrastructure Agent Copied

The ITRS Infrastructure Agent is the recommended agent to install on monitored servers, and supports both Windows and Linux.

The Infrastructure Agent enables communication between systems by running a daemon that Opsview Monitor Collectors can use to interrogate the status of the system. It provides some default plugins (for checking on RAM, CPU, and DISK, amongst others) that Host Templates within Opsview Monitor can make use of straight away, but can be extended with additional plugins.

For installation details on any distribution, see Infrastructure Agent Installation.

Warning

We do not recommend manually installing or upgrading the Infrastructure Agent on servers which run Opsview Monitor itself, as these already have packages managed by Opsview Deploy.
