Upon registering the Agent controller for TLS, you encounter this problem:

Solution

Please check and verify that the agent controller is running:

Code Block
languagebash
themeRDarkMidnight
ssroot@<cmkserver>:~# cmk-tulpn | grep 6556
 
ps waux | grep cmk-agent-ctl
 
cmk-agent-ctl status
 
systemctl status check-mk-agent.socket
systemctl status cmk-agent-ctl-daemon.service

In that case here, the agent controller is not running because xinetd is running. For the agent controller, systemd is necessary: https://checkmk.com/werk/13865

If you're using the bakery you need to create the following rule:

Solution 1

You'd need to add whole CA to Checkmk via Global Settings → Site Mangement → Trusted certificate authorities for SSL

Solution 2

Register the agent with the receiver port (by default 8000, counting up similar to site apache 5000 → 5001 ...) like so: 

Code Block
themeMidnight
root@<cmkserver>:~# cmk-agent-ctl register -H <host> -s <checkmk-server> -i <site> -U <username> -p:8000

cqllabel in ("agent","agent_controller") and type = "page" and space = "KB"
