Linux Agent OS Support

[Ali_Maher]

Hi,

Hope all is well.

Kindly, regarding the Linux agent support OS, i can see the latest version still support CentOS, however the CentOS will be EOL by the 30 June, and the Rocky linux will replaced it.

Is there any plan to support the Rocky linux OS Soon?

Hi Ali

I actually was surprised to not find Rocky Linux in the list of officially tested OSes for the FortiSIEM Linux Agent (for 7.1.6 see Docs > FortiSIEM 7.1.6 > Linux Agent Installation Guide) as the SIEM itself is now running on Rocky Linux itself (after being based on CentOS until FortiSIEM 6.3).

I am confident though that the agent works without issues on Rocky as well (given the requirements outlined in the linked documentation are met).

Regards

Simon

Hi Ali

The Linux agent supports Rocky already. We’ve updated the install guide to confirm this, and I checked it installs on Rocky 9.
