If you need to install the Armor Agent and Armor Security Services one by one, Armor recommends following the specific order outlined below to utilize the benefits of Recommendation Scans.

Recommendation Scans provide a good starting point for establishing a list of rules that you should implement for FIM and IPS. During a recommendation scan, the Armor Agent scans the operating system for installed applications, the Windows registry, open ports, and more. Recommendation Scans provide the rules and policies that will be auto applied by FIM and IPS, so auto apply features for those services must be turned on. Similarly, there is nothing for FIM and IPS to auto apply unless a Recommendation Scan is run.

If you do not want to run Recommendation Scans, please review the full list of CLI commands available here.

In rare cases, the usual calls to retrieve this identifier fail to return this UUID, which will cause the Armor Agent to fail registration.

Turn on Armor Agent debug logging and try to register again. If the registration fails again, search the log for "Unable to get BiosUUID"

Midnight

theme
time="2020-07-24T03:06:48-05:00" level=debug msg="Unable to get BiosUUID"
time="2020-07-24T03:06:50-05:00" level=debug msg="Unable to get BiosUUID"

In Linux, try this command to try to retrieve the UUID:

Midnight
Code Block
theme
sudo dmidecode |grep UUID

Any of the above commands should return a 35byte string formatted like:

4C4C7544-0057-4C30-8046-C2C04F4C9132


The BIOS UUID is required by the Armor Agent, to ensure uniqueness of the device. The BIOS UUID must be readable by the operating system. If the BIOS UUID is not available to the operating system please check with your provider.
