Component Checks & agents
Title Make fileinfo work again on old Perl versions
Date Sep 16, 2019
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.6.0b10 2.0.0i1
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

Due to a change in 1.6.0, the fileinfo part of the Checkmk agent only worked when a Perl >= 5.16 (released in spring 2012) was installed on the client. For distributions with ancient Perl versions (Debian Squeeze/Wheezy, Ubuntu Precise, CentOS 6, SLES 11), fileinfo stopped working. This has been fixed.
