Don’t forget python as pre-req for agent install

Hey guys, don’t forget python as pre-req for agent install!  Came across this again, where the docs site doesn’t mention python-ctypes as pre-req for agent install.  Let’s flip to GitHub for the agent.  GitHub lists the python pre-req here.  Otherwise, it’s Openssl 1.1.0 is only supported on x86_64 platforms (64-bit).

 

 

Let’s begin by starting with a Linux server.  I’ve used Ubuntu in my lab, specifically, Ubuntu v16.04.

Login and check if you have latest, or have the package installed (Debian Linux)

Regular user run   ‘sudo apt-get install python-ctypes‘

Super user/root     ‘apt-get install python-ctypes‘

As of 1 July, v1.13.7.0 is current (latest) 64 bit OMS for Linux agent released.

Gather Log Analytics/MMA agent version

Had some questions come up from the community to check the Log Analytics agent version.

Depending on how you are setup, the SCOM Integration makes this easy with Holman’s blog for the agent management pack.

If you have admin right in Operations Manager console then you can check this directly from SCOM server:

If you are an admin in SCOM, you can check from MS

$Server = “DC01.yourlabnamehere.net”
(Get-SCOMAgent -Name $ServerName).Version

Alternatively, from server registry:

(Get-ItemProperty “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\setup”)

# Just the Agent version variable

(Get-ItemProperty “HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\setup”).AgentVersion
