The agent updater (cmk-update-agent) is no longer provided as 32bit Linux binary executable.
If you run the agent updater under a 32bit Linux system, use the plain Python script deployment option instead.
cmk-update-agent as a Python script has the following requirements to the underlying Linux system:
- Python 3.7
- cryptography Python module
- requests Python module
- pysocks Python module (for SOCKS proxy support)
Caution: Agent updater rules configured with Executable format (Linux): 32bit packaged binary will be migrated to the Script option.
Please be sure to check for compatibility before updating!
