Checkmk Werk 10431: New agent rule for Checkmk agent service on Linux

ID: 10431 Title: New agent rule for Checkmk agent service on Linux Component: agents Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.7.0i1 It is now possible to choose which, if any, network service should be shipped and installed with a baked Linux Checkmk agent package. This can be configured with the new agent ruleset "Checkmk agent network service (Linux)" It is possible to choose between the following services/super servers setups: <li>Ship service files for xinetd and systemd, prefer to activate xinetd service, fallback to systemd if xinetd is not available</li> <li>Ship and activate xinetd service</li> <li>Ship and activate systemd service</li> <li>Don't ship any service files</li> If no rule is configured, the behavior will be identical to the first of the mentioned choices (prefer xinetd, fallback to systemd). If the super server(s) of your choice is/are not available at the target system, you will be noticed about this on agent installation. The last option (no service) is a reasonable choice if you want to monitor the hosts without the use of a super server, e.g. via SSH.
