I noticed that Oracle Linux is supported for BF Agent, but not BF Relay:
https://support.bigfix.com/bes/release/10.0/patch3/
Given that Oracle Linux and RHEL are something like 99% binary compatible (heck the Agent installer is the same one used for both), is this just a matter of the Relay not being fully tested on Oracle Linux yet?
And has anyone just gone ahead and installed the Relay on Oracle Linux, and if so what were the results?
@Oryx, you’re likely spot on, but until OLE is certified for BESRelay it would not be supported by L2/L3 if you run into issues This was the case for CentOS just a few years back and a similar argument was made. Ultimately it took opening a RFE (now called BigFix Ideas) to get CentOS covered to be a BESRelay.
I did a quick search on the BigFix Ideas site and found the following >> https://bigfix-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/IDEACNCTNS-I-2111
Please review and vote it up.
