Step-by-step guide
Prerequisites
- A user with sufficient rights (the automation user would do out of the box)
- Checkmk's server hostname (or IP)
- The site which holds the agent
- The agent you want to download (i.e., OS & hash or hostname).
The easiest way to find the OS and has, is to navigate to the agent bakery and hover the cursor over the installation package:

If you're not able to fetch the hash via the browser, you can access it via CLI:

root@linux# su - mysite
OMD[mysite]:~$ ls var/check_mk/agents/linux_deb/packages/
