Unfortunatly I have to work in an closed environment so i cannot make a pull request. Instead I added my changes in the attached main.txt (must be renamed to main.yml, see below). Maybe someone can make a pull request out of it.

Component Name

Component Name: Agent download
I added three new configuration variables:
checkmk_agent_download_server_protocol
checkmk_agent_download_server
checkmk_agent_download_site

I changed checkmk/general/roles/agent/vars/main.yml to the following (see attachment)
main.txt
works for me

Ansible Version

$ ansible --version
2.12.10

Collection Version

$ ansible-galaxy collection list
4.1.0

Environment

checkmk 2.2.0p18

Hi @HaZet1968 and thanks for your contribution!
Just making sure, I understand your proposal correctly: You want to add the new variables to be able to set a server different from checkmk_agent_server and checkmk_agent_registration_server, right?

Hi at all,

we facing a similar issue.

Distributed setup, where the distrubuted site are only read-only.

So the agent role have to

• create the new host at the master server with site-tag for the distributed site
• register TLS at the distributed server with the distributed site
• register updader at the distributed server with the distributed site

At the moment step 2 fails, as it tries to register at the master server (checkmk_agent_server) which does not react for the distrbuted site.

How can we assist to bring the differentiation into the code.

@torbenubechel thanks for chiming in here. My question towards the original reporter of this was targeted at confirming whether the role can already do, what they need.

In your case, I would assume, setting the following two variables to the remote server and site, instead using the default (which is the central site and server), should resolve your situation.

checkmk_agent_registration_server: "{{ checkmk_agent_server }}"
checkmk_agent_registration_site: "{{ checkmk_agent_site }}"

@robin-checkmk you were right.
My mistake was the wrong registration site.

Now its working!

Thanks a lot!
