Download the Checkmk RAW Edition (CRE) with the version you need — in this example 2.1.0p35 — via command line:
Code Block theme RDark root@mylinuxhost:~# wget https://download.checkmk.com/checkmk/2.1.0p35/check-mk-raw-2.1.0p35_0.jammy_amd64.deb
We use the CRE here, as it can be downloaded without authentication and the vanilla agent contained, is the same as in all editions. Also, the target distribution of the server setup is irrelevant.
Create a temporary directory to extract the files to and change into it:
Code Block theme RDark root@mylinuxhost:~# mkdir mydirectory && cd mydirectory
.Extract the downloaded file into this directory:
Code Block theme RDark root@mylinuxhost:~# tar x ../check-mk-raw-2.1.0p35_0.jammy_amd64.deb
.Extract the data.tar.zst archive:
Code Block theme RDark root@mylinuxhost:~# tar xvf data.tar.zst
.
This command will show you all the agents contained in the archive:
Code Block theme RDark root@mylinuxhost:~# find . -name '*check?mk?agent*'
.Go to the directory that contains the agent you need, for example the
windows
directory:Code Block theme RDark root@mylinuxhost:~# cd ./opt/omd/versions/2.1.0p35.cre/share/check_mk/agents/windows/
.
- Here you will find the MSI file for 2.1.0p35:

The installation, registration, and setup of the agent can be accomplished in just a few steps, because the agent does not need any additional libraries for its functionality, for example. In addition, the agent is shipped with a basic configuration that is sufficient for most applications. |
