Monitoring Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1 in SCOM 2019

Question

Hello,

 

I have a problem monitoring Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.1 in SCOM 2019.

 

I have updated the Linux management pack and tried to configure as mentioned on the Microsoft site but when I try to add the server in question via Discovery I always get a message ( see attachment ).

 

The Winrm has been activated on server and certificates are added for trust.

 

I can add an older version without any problem.

 

I saw in some forums that I should install the agent on the server manually and then add it via discovery but it still doesn't work.

 

On other forums they say there is a problem adding the Redhat 9.1 version.

 

Could you please confirm this, or please explain how to add them in Scom 2019?

 

Best regards,
