Must I recompile Agents after Kernel Update(s)?

[aorlowski]

Hello,

Recently we have updated several of our linux systems which did include kernel updates. My Experience tells me that, yes I do need to re-compile zabbix agents in order to avoid skewed results and or alerts.

Is this true?

Thanks,

Allen

You should almost never need to recompile agents if you have a kernel upgrade. If you change glibc libraries then yes you might need to recompile.

Ok, thank you for clearing that up for me.
