Agent Bakery - Strange name on _GENERIC link

[e95fja]

Hi,
We have been using this suggestion to download the generic client to servers using wget:
[Check_mk (english)] Downloading Baked Agents via wget/curl - Archive / checkmk-en - Checkmk Community

Basically, we do a link like:
sudo ln -s /opt/omd/sites/site/var/check_mk/agents/linux_deb/_GENERIC /var/www/html/agents/check-mk-agent-generic.deb

Now I just got a 403 error when trying to wget the file from a new server.

When looking on the link in the Checkmk server it turns out it is broken (?)

Now my _GENERIC link is named:
/opt/omd/sites/site/var/check_mk/agents/linux_deb/_GENERIC[%2Fwato%2F]

Re-creating the links with that name works fine. But it feels a bit strange…

We recently upgraded from cee-2.1.0p10 to cee-2.1.0p14 and I think this is the first server added since then…

Yes, that is new in 2.1.
Now you get GENERIC agents for each folder if there are generic folder rules.
The one you see is the main directory generic agent, which should include the agent updater plugin for your use case.

Aha… We started using Checkmk on 2.1 and have updated from cfe2.1 pX a couple of times and went to cee from cee2.1 p10 and now p14.

But not seen this until now.

Anyway, if it is expected I am happy and will just change my links

Hello,

if I install the _GENERIC agent(rpm) I have no cmk-update-agent.
Did I missunderstand anything?
check_mk 2.1.0p32

Thanks

@sysmgmt-lnx.polizei

if I install the _GENERIC agent(rpm) I have no cmk-update-agent.

Then the configuration rule(s) for the agent updater do(es) not apply to all hosts and the configuration is not built into a generic agent packet.
