Zabbix Agent on Oracle Linux 5

[GarethS]

Hi,

I'm having a problem trying to install the Zabbix agent on Oracle Linux 5 64-bit and I was wondering if anyone knew how to set this up. I'm on Zabbix version 4.0.17 and when I try to install the repo I get the following error...
rpm -Uvh https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.0/r...el5.noarch.rpm
Retrieving https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.0/r...el5.noarch.rpm
error: skipping https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/4.0/r...el5.noarch.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

Managed to install on Oracle Linux 6 & 7 but cannot get it to install on Oracle Linux 5.

Thank you

OL 5 is pretty old, and in particular the version of OpenSSL that tools like RPM and wget use is quite old.

https://repo.zabbix.com is configured to only negotiate TLS 1.2 connections and only offers 4 cipher options to negotiate with the client. I strongly suspect that openssl on OL5/RHEL 5 doesn't support any of those ciphers (or it doesn't even support TLS 1.2, I actually haven't checked).

You're probably going to need to download the agent packages manually for EL5 using a platform that has newer TLS support and then manually install them using e.g. 'yum localinstall zabbix-agent*.rpm' or something similar.

Thank you Tim. Will try downloading the packages manually.
