QRadar EDR - Linux Agent Fails to Start on CentOS Stream 9

Troubleshooting


Problem

The QRadar EDR Linux agent version 1.1.0 and earlier does not start on CentOS Stream 9 after upgrading to newer kernel versions. Customers may observe that the agent fails during initialization and does not enter a healthy running state.
This issue has been verified on the following kernel: 5.14.0‑635.el9

Resolving The Problem

There is currently no workaround available. The Developement Team is actively working on a Linux agent update designed to restore compatibility with the latest CentOS Stream 9 kernels. A resolution will be delivered in a future agent release.
