Remote collector deployments must meet these requirements:
• The operating system running on the server to be deployed as a remote collector must be the same version
and platform as that running on the Resource Manager master. (For example, if your Resource Manager
master is CentOS 5 64-bit, then the collector must also be CentOS 5 64-bit.)

• Update your version of Resource Manager
• Install patches
• Install, update, or remove ZenPacks
