Now it is possible to remove the Legacy Agent during or after the Windows Agent 1.6 installation.
There are three methods:
-
From the command line please, call 'check_mk_agent.exe remove_legacy' to remove the Legacy Agent immediately
-
During GUI-based MSI installation, please set the check box 'Remove Legacy Agent' to remove agent immediately after the installation of the Windows Agent
-
To remove the Legacy Agent through user configuration file, please add to the section global the line
remove_legacy: yes
In this case the Legacy Agent will be removed after reload of the configuration file.
Important notes: method 3 removes the Legacy Agent only once. This is done to avoid infinite 'remove Legacy Agent' after every agent restart and or configuration reload.
Through the method 1 the Legacy Agent may be removed unconditionally at any moment.
