Are you unable to install the IBM Log Analysis agent on Red Hat Linux?

Installation of the IBM® Log Analysis agent fails on Red Hat Linux.

As of 28 March 2024 the IBM Log Analysis and IBM Cloud Activity Tracker services are deprecated and will no longer be supported as of 30 March 2025. Customers will need to migrate to IBM Cloud Logs, which replaces these two services, prior to 30 March 2025. For information about IBM Cloud Logs, see the IBM Cloud Logs documentation.

When you install the IBM Log Analysis agent with the agent installation instructions, the installation fails when the sudo yum install logdna-agent command is run.

You need to update the crypto policies default to SHA1 for the logdna-agent before you install the agent.

To resolve this issue, run the following commands before you run the sudo yum install logdna-agent command.

update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:SHA1
dnf install logdna-agent
update-crypto-policies --set DEFAULT:NO-SHA1
