How to chosing the linux Zabbix pre-compiled agents?

[ceslab]

Hi~

what's the difference between Zabbix pre-compiled agents Linux 2.6 and Linux 2.6.23 ?

It seems that they all based on linux kernel 2.6,but what's the difference between them?

I have a OS redhat 6.6,the kernel version is 2.6.32, should I chose Zabbix pre-compiled agents Linux 2.6.23 ?

Does it mean if the kernel version >=2.6.23 then the Zabbix pre-compiled agents Linux 2.6.23 will be used, if the kernel version < 2.6.23 then the Zabbix pre-compiled agents Linux 2.6 will be used?

If you are using RHEL 6, I think that it is better to use the package.

ex.
Zabbix agent verion 3.0.8 for RHEL 6(i386):

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/6/i386/zabbix-agent-3.0.8-1.el6.i686.rpm

Zabbix agent verion 3.0.8 for RHEL 6(x86_64):

http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/3.0/rhel/6/x86_64/zabbix-agent-3.0.8-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

I think that the version of the kernel varies depending on the update status of service packs etc. in SLE 11 as well.

If it is 2.6.27 or 2.6.32, it is better to use pre-compiled agent for 2.6.23.

Actually SLE 11 has not tried it, so it may not work depending on the environment.
In that case, you should compile from the source.

Hi, for SLES11, you can use this package :
