Installation Instructions

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:

• For assessments on app.cloudamize.com or dashboard.cloudamize.com our data collection servers are at 104.197.11.97 for US infrastructure and 35.198.133.35 for EU infrastructure over port 443, either directly or through a corporate proxy

• For assessments on console.cloudamize.com or dashboard-partners.cloudamize.com our data collection servers are at am.cloudamize.com for US infrastructure and am-de.cloudamize.com for EU infrastructure over port 443, either directly or through a corporate proxy. If you are unable to whitelist DNS addresses, please instead whitelist the appropriate static IP: 35.171.170.26 (US infrastructure) or 18.194.12.63 (EU infrastructure).

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 -s https://agentmanager1.cloudamize.com/cxf/downloadFile/installCloudamizeAgentV2.sh)

This will differ if your assessment is on console.cloudamize.com, and will include your customer key:

%> 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)

If you want to route the data through your own proxy server, click the checkbox as shown in the image below, and use the following command for app.cloudamize.com assessments (console.cloudamize.com assessments have the command listed in the portal):

sh <(curl --proxy https://www.yourproxy.com:proxy_port -s https://agentmanager1.cloudamize.com/cxf/downloadFile/installCloudamizeAgentV2.sh) <https://www.your_own_proxy.com> <proxy_port>

If you want to use your own proxy server and the server requires authentication, click the designated checkbox and use the following, updated command.

sh <(curl --proxy https://www.yourproxy.com:proxy_port --proxy-user username:password -s https://agentmanager1.cloudamize.com/cxf/downloadFile/installCloudamizeAgentV2.sh) <https://www.your_own_proxy.com> <proxy_port> <user_name> <password>

Deploy from Central Repository:

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://agentmanager1.cloudamize.com/cxf/downloadFile/installCloudamizeAgentV2.sh | sudo CLOUDAMIZE_CUSTOMER_KEY=xxxx bash
