The times I have seen that error message either the sudo permissions are not
correct or the discovery process from the server is being run with su (which
the account likely won’t have) instead of sudo elevation. For configuring sudo
permissions, the link that was sent earlier is the lowest common denominator
for agents to be installed and running on a system:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/7375.configuring-sudo-elevation-for-unix-and-linux-monitoring-with-system-center-2012-operations-manager.aspx
I double checked and the sudoers.d lines match for Linux/Unix agents I have in
production (OM2012R2 UR3).
Towards the second question, the Linux/Unix MPs and agents aren’t written to
proxy for others systems. The agents need to be on all the servers… Unless you
write custom management packs to do that proxying, in which case authoring SCOM
management packs for Linux/Unix is a whole different ball game. ☺

Subject: [msmom] RE: Monitor Linux servers without SCOM 2012 agents (agentless)?
Kevin,
Thank you for the information. We have a couple of additional issues/questions.
· Issues:
o After SCOM discovered the Red Hat Linux server, it appears to have tried to
copy the agent to the required directory on the Linux server but it didn’t
install the agent (it also deleted the newly create directory)
§ Ran the commands from the documentation so the SUDO account has all correct
permissions
§ Troubleshooting – search web but couldn’t find any fix.
· All I found was that “this is a permission issue” we ran the command
for the SUDO account
· Error from SCOM Console:
[cid:[email protected]]
· Questions:
o What is the lowest permissions that the SUDO account can have to discovery
and monitor a Linux server?
o Our Linux group doesn’t want an agent installed on all of their Linux
servers. I was thinking if we can install the SCOM agent on one Linux server
then have that act as the SCOM proxy and then we wouldn’t have to install the
agent on any other Linux servers – would that work?
Thanks
Karen

Thank you for the quick response.
So there really isn’t an agent installed on the Linux servers? How does the
OMIServer get installed on the Linux servers. I have configured the RunAs
accounts and Profiles. Now I am going to work with the Linux admin to get the
SUDO working. Once that is done is that when SCOM installs the OMIserver on the
Linux servers?
Is there a link that explains this in more detail?
Thanks
Karen

Even today there is no SCOM agent on the Linux/Unix box. Hence it is agentless
in the sense that there is no healthservice on the Linux machine nor are there
any workflows running on the Linux box.
What we install on the Linux Machine is something like winrm/WMI (OMIServer)
that the Management server queries to get info about the Linux machine.
SCOM was always agentless when it came to monitoring Linux.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
I have heard some rumors that Linux servers could be monitored by SCOM 2012
without installing an agent (agentless). Is this true? If so could I please be
provided a link to the instructions on how to do this?
Thanks
Karen
