Agent Updater (Agent via .tar.gz) (Agent-Auto-Updates)

Hello everybody,

I just want to know if it is possible to have the agent-updater-plugin (Rule: “Agent updater (Linux, Windows, Solaris)”) running in a checkmk-agent which is initially installed (or unpacked) as a .tar.gz?

You can bake an agent with that updater-plugin, but once you for example execute cmk-update-agent -v it disregards that the agent was initially installed as a .tar.gz and automatically uses a package-manager like dpkg to install the agent, which is not a behaviour I want to see or assume at that point. That causes the agent to be installed aditionally as a package, but on some hosts it does only work when the agent is installed as .tar.gz.

Any ideas?

I thought the recent Werk #16085: “Agent Updater: Better detection of underlying platform” will make it possible, but it still wont work the way I want it.

Greetings, Julien
