Prerequisites:

• One of the following OSes:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 or higher

  • Oracle Linux 6.5 or higher

  • Ubuntu 16.04 or higher

  • CentOS release 7 or higher

  • Debian GNU/Linux 8.0 or higher

  • Amazon Linux AMI release 2013.03 or higher

  • Fedora release 12 or higher

  • Suse Linux 11 or higher

• A supported version of OpenSSL

• Root and/or Wheel Group access

• 350 MB persistent storage

• The Install script requires wget to retrieve content, and curl to test/verify access to our data collection servers:

• Open firewall port TCP 443 to our data collection servers at am.cloudamize.com for US infrastructure, am-de.cloudamize.com for EU infrastructure, or am-ae.cloudamize.com for UAE infrastructure either directly or through a corporate proxy.

  • If your system locally caches DNS resolution, you may need to resolve am.cloudamize.com to 35.171.170.26 or am-de.cloudamize.com to 18.194.12.63 to allow egress traffic. NB this will not be the address that traffic will return from, so this cannot be used as a firewall exception alone. This feature is not currently available for our UAE collection endpoint.

Note: The Linux agent/agentless approach requires a user with root permissions to get PID-to-network mapping, certain hardware details, and data on logical/physical disk volumes. Become root user either through "sudo -s" or "su", most systems use sudo.  

Procedure:

Launch the application from your Partner Dashboard or login directly here. Open the Settings page by clicking the username in the upper right-hand corner and select Settings. Navigate to Agent Setup > Assess and select the Linux tab. 

Note: the commands below represent our US infrastructure. If you are using our EU infrastructure copy and paste the commands directly from your assessment. 

Step 1:  Export your customer key.

export CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=<YOUR CUSTOMER KEY>

Step 2:  Execute the command listed in the assessment portal, eg:

%> sh <(curl -X POST https://am.cloudamize.com/cxf/downloadFileV3 -H 'content-type: multipart/form-data' -F custkey=<YOUR CUSTOMER KEY> -F filename=installCloudamizeAgentV2.sh)

Note: If for some reason environment variables cannot be used during the install, the customer can configure later by running /usr/local/cloudamize/bin/configure.sh

Configuration of Agent

The agent can be configured while installed or after. The following environment variables are used to configure. If they are set during install, they will be used to configure. Otherwise, the customer must run /usr/local/cloudamize/bin/configure.sh

Environment variables can be set using the “export” command in bash, or when running a command. Placement of env set is important when running during command. Note, sudo usually clears env variables.

• export CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=xxxx
  dpkg -i cloudamize_agent.deb

• CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=xxxx dpkg -i cloudamize_agent.deb

• sudo CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=xxxx dpkg -i cloudamize_agent.deb

• curl https://am.cloudamize.com/cxf/downloadFile/installCloudamizeAgentV2.sh | sudo CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=xxxx bash

• CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=xxxx /usr/local/cloudamize/bin/configure.sh
