Insight Agent requirements - operating system support
We've relocated our list of Insight Agent installers for unsupported operating systems
If you have assets running operating systems that the latest version of the Insight Agent no longer supports, see the unsupported operating systems section on this page for details on the older agent versions you can deploy to maintain coverage. To download one of these older agent versions, see our new Insight Agent Version History page.
The Insight Agent is supported on Microsoft Windows, macOS, and various Linux distributions. This page defines what official support means for the functions of the Insight Agent software and details the support schedules for specific operating system (OS) versions.
How OS supportability affects agent functionality
The Insight Agent software receives regular updates (including new features, improvements, and defect fixes) designed to maintain agent performance for all supported OS versions. Running the agent on a supported version ensures that the agent software continues to receive these updates. Rapid7’s Customer Support team can also assist with any questions and troubleshoot any issues that arise with agents installed on supported OS versions.
Insight Agents installed on unsupported OS versions will continue to perform their usual tasks, but will not receive any software updates. Customer Support is unable to help install agents on unsupported OS versions, nor can they troubleshoot any issues that arise with agents installed on those versions. Additionally, the Insight Agent will not collect any new data for the InsightVM vulnerability content. However, due to the large amount of data the Insight Agent already collects, InsightVM itself will continue to detect vulnerabilities on the old content as well as the majority of new vulnerability content.
Supported OS versions
Refer to these tables to view the OS versions that the Insight Agent currently supports and the End-Of-Life (EOL) schedule for each.
Microsoft Windows Desktop
The Insight Agent supports Windows Desktop versions deployed with the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) where indicated.
Windows ARM64 support
The Insight Agent currently only supports Windows ARM64 for InsightIVM. WindowsARM64 for InsightIDR is not supported.
Additional Windows requirements for InsightIDR and InsightOps subscribers
If you are installing the Insight Agent on Windows assets for use with InsightIDR or InsightOps, make sure that the event log is enabled on your assets. Refer to our InsightIDR event source documentation for more information.

Linux
Oracle Enterprise Linux compatibility
The Insight Agent does not support Oracle Enterprise Linux on the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK)
Additional Linux requirements for InsightIDR subscribers
If you install the Insight Agent on Linux assets for use with InsightIDR, the auditd library must be present, but the service must be disabled. InsightIDR must have exclusive use of the auditd service in order to successfully run the agent.job.linux.ui_realtime job.
If your organization requires that auditd be enabled at all times, see the auditd Compatibility Mode for Linux Assets article for instructions on how to ensure that both the Insight Agent and auditd services can run together.

How to run the Insight Agent on an unsupported OS
If your organization has assets that run a version of an OS that is outside of what the Insight Agent currently supports, you can install an older, compatible version of the agent to maintain coverage. Check the unsupported OS versions table to determine the Insight Agent version range that applies to your assets, then refer to the Insight Agent Version History table to download legacy installers if they are available.
Unsupported OS versions
These tables contain the OS versions that the Insight Agent no longer supports.

FAQs
Can I install the Insight Agent on Docker containers?
The Insight Agent is not compatible with Docker containers. If you need a security solution for container deployment, see InsightCloudSec.
I have to run assets with legacy OS systems that are no longer supported by their vendor. Can I run an older agent version on them?
Yes, older versions of the Insight Agent are available for download.
Do I have to make changes to my agent if it is running on an OS version that is no longer supported?
No changes to the agent installation are required if your OS version is no longer supported, but be aware that the agent software will not receive any updates from that point on.
Where can I find more information and ask questions?
