Summary

This article covers the step by step guide to install the Linux agent version 0.60.0 on CentOS 7 Linux distribution.

Objective

Understanding the requirements and step by step process on how to install the Linux agent version 0.60.0 on CentOS 7 Linux distribution for getting a successful agent registration.

Steps

  1. With an internet connection, ensure that the prerequisite packages are installed by typing the following command:

    sudo yum install gcc make kmod dkms kernel-devel-$(uname -r) kernel-devel

    Note: Some packages might be available only after you enable extra repositories.
     
  2. Additionally, install and enable EPEL repository on the CentOS 7 system, by typing the following command:

    sudo yum install epel-release
     
  3. Verify that the kernel headers match the exact version of the kernel you are running by following the steps described in the article: QRadar EDR (formerly ReaQta): Verifying kernel headers match the version of the kernel used by the Linux system
     
  4. Ignore-taint flag to successfully load the kernel mode, by editing the /etc/reaqtahive.d/keeperx.env file, and adding the following line to the end of it:

    KMOD_IGNORE_TAINT=1

    For more information about kernel switching into "tainted" state, refers to: QRadar EDR (formerly ReaQta): Keeperx.service error Main process exited, code=exited, status=4/NOPERMISSION with Linux Agent 0.60.0 when registering the endpoint
     
  5. Download the installer rpm package from the ReaQta dashboard

    • Click Administration > Update Manager
    • Click Hive Package

    • If it is a new installation, type the following command:

    sudo RQTPARAMS="https://<URL>:<PORT> --gids <group_IDs>" --proxy http://proxy:port" rpm -Uvh --force <installer>.rpm
