Create GPG Key for Linux Agent

When installing the Linux Agent through repository. You will get an warning that the repository is not trusted, since we're missing an GPG key.

I haven't seen a way to manually add the GPG key to the repository. I would like to have an feature where you can upload an GPG key which can be used with the repository.

  • Hi radapompa,

    I am by no means a Solarwinds guru, but there are a few ways to get around this issue:

    Option 1) Create your own GPG-KEY, sign the package your self, and then place your gpg-key under /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/.

    Option 2) If Solarwinds starts signing their RPMs and posting the key somewhere on this site, you could copy it to your servers and import it.

    a) cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/

    b) vi SOLARWINDS-RPM-GPG-KEY   (then past the key inside this file)

    c) Import the key:  rpm --import SOLARWINDS-RPM-GPG-KEY

    Option 3) yum -y install swiagent --nogpgcheck

    The above is specific to RHEL and RHEL clones.  I imagine the process is similar for other Linux OSes.  For Option 2 you could also just download the KEY and copy it to /etc/pki/rpm-gpg.

    Hope this helps!
