Modify the file /etc/redhat-release: Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) ... replace this line with : Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche) Now when installing the agents it thinks it is on a Red Hat 8 system. It's a dirty trick but it works for most of the agents. Don not forget to restore the original /etc/redhat-release file after installing the agents
