Note
ITRS does not provide support on agents installed on different Linux distributions. Verify with the package manager in your Linux distribution and the support of the agent on the specific OS.
The table above is the verification of our plugin working with the specific agent in the base OS.
SNMP is limited to the configuration on the remote server for the specific check to be performed on that system.

Compatibility and lifecycle Copied
This section outlines all the changes to OP5 Monitor compatibility and lifecycle.
Release types Copied
The version numbers consist of three digits: major.minor.micro.
We continuously introduce new releases, which are normally considered micro releases. In rare cases build versions are used if the micro release does not fulfil our internal QA and a new build has to be created.
The releases can contain bug fixes, change of functions, or one or the other. When there have been enough micro releases that changed the user experience significantly or we introduce new features, we bump a minor version number. Major versions provide us with an opportunity to introduce features and break backwards compatibility.
Active maintenance of a minor release implies that we are fixing bugs and backporting some number of fixes into that code branch.
