The easier route may be to use the epel repository and just yum install check-mk-agent.
I'm doing that at home with CentOS7 and at work with Red Hat 7 and it works just fine. I didn't check to see if there is a newer version, but this works in kickstart: wget -O /tmp/epel-release.rpm http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh /tmp/epel-release.rpm yum update epel-release -y yum install check-mk-agent -y If you want to do it manually, check your IP stack like Marcel recommended.

I presently trying to get the agent running on the monitoring server but I seem to not be setting something up correctly. I could not find any rpm files so I decided to following this url; https://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_linuxagent.html I copied the agent to /usr/bin/check_mk_agent from the agent directory under omd I also copied xinetd.conf to /etc/xinetd.d/check_mk and changed it as so: **********BEGIN********** service check_mk { type = UNLISTED port = 6556 socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/check_mk_agent # If you use fully redundant monitoring and poll the client # from more then one monitoring servers in parallel you might # want to use the agent cache wrapper: server = /usr/bin/check_mk_caching_agent # configure the IP address(es) of your Nagios server here: only_from = 127.0.0.1 192.168.15.100 # Don't be too verbose. Don't log every check. This might be # commented out for debugging. If this option is commented out # the default options will be used for this service. log_on_success = disable = no } **********END********** I restarted the xinetd service and ensured it was up and running **********BEGIN********** [root@localhost xinetd.d]# systemctl status xinetd.service xinetd.service - Xinetd A Powerful Replacement For Inetd Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/xinetd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Sun 2015-03-29 11:39:25 EDT; 10min ago Process: 20910 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/xinetd -stayalive -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid $EXTRAOPTIONS (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 20911 (xinetd) CGroup: /system.slice/xinetd.service └─20911 /usr/sbin/xinetd -stayalive -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid **********END********** I checked what is listing on what ports with 'netstat -ltn': **********BEGIN********** [root@localhost xinetd.d]# netstat -ltn Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 ::1:25 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::6556 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN **********END********** What am I missing here?
