Hi, as xinetd is not provided for RHEL 9, I wrote a couple of systemd units to make this work. I am sure someone smarter than me could make this better, but I have confirmed this does work on any modern systemd implementation.

Would it be possible to get this in the documentation so the knowledge is not lost?

Here is the info:

Create a new file: /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent.socket Paste this into the file:

[Unit] Description=Observium Agent Socket Requires=observiumagent@.service

[Socket] ListenStream=36602 Accept=yes

[Install] WantedBy=sockets.target

Change permissions on the file: Chmod 660 /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent.socket

Create another new file: /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.servicemailto:/etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service Paste this into the file:

[Unit] Description=Observium Agent Server PartOf=observiumagent.socket

[Service] ExecStart=-/usr/bin/observium_agent #User=example #Group=example StandardInput=socket Sockets=observiumagent.socket

Change permissions on the file: Chmod 660 /etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.servicemailto:/etc/systemd/system/observiumagent@.service

Reload systemd: systemctl daemon-reload Enable and start the service: systemctl enable --now observiumagent.socket

That’s it, of course, follow the rest of the direction on the page (UNIX Agent - Observiumhttps://docs.observium.org/unix_agent/), just ignore the ones involving xinetd

Thanks
