# CentOS 7 End of Life and Support

Red Hat has [declared](https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/linux/centos-linux-eol){target=`_blank`} that CentOS 7 will be End-of-Life on June 30, 2024, and will no longer receive updates and support. Catchpoint will similarly end its support for the CentOS 7 operating system on **May 1st, 2024**, ceasing support for Enterprise Nodes that run the OS.

**After this date, Catchpoint will not troubleshoot, resolve bugs, or release new features for Enterprise Nodes running CentOS 7.**

Catchpoint provides support for several operating systems, which are listed [here](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/enterprise-node-os-and-agent-supported-versions){target=`_blank`}. We recommend installing the Endpoint Agent on top of a fresh install of one of the supported operating systems.  However, if this is not possible, we can provide a script that will automatically reimage the node on Oracle 8, a supported operating system.

This script is based on the Alma Linux Elevate framework; it runs on standard configurations but may fail if it encounters something running on the node that it doesn’t anticipate. The script is a helper utility and is not part of the Catchpoint’s offering; we’re providing this script as a good partner, though you should take every precaution before running it to ensure it doesn’t impact your nodes.

Before running this script, Catchpoint requires that:
- Customers run the **bootctl** status command on Enterprise Nodes to learn if Secure Boot is enabled.
    - If users find it’s enabled, they must disable it during a machine restart in the BIOS while physically connected to the node before migrating the Operating System.
    - The upgrade script will exit early if Secure Boot is enabled on the node.
- Nodes run the **latest version** of the Catchpoint agent to execute this script.
    - Administrators must run update commands on each node to ensure the latest agent version is installed before attempting to reimaging the node.
    - See [this article](https://docs.catchpoint.com/docs/linux-commands-and-outputs){target=`_blank`} for information about running the update command.
- Customers consider a backup of the node prior to running this script.

Catchpoint also supports deploying its agents using Containers - read more [here](https://hub.docker.com/r/catchpoint/enterprise){target=`_blank`}.

We encourage customers to reach out to their Customer Success Manager if you prefer to remotely access your nodes and run the upgrade script; our team will supply the script if you prefer this route.

If you don’t have remote access or need assistance with the upgrade script, please open a support ticket with the topic ‘Enterprise Node CentOS 7 Migration Assistance’ and a member of the team will assist.
