Step 1: Install Trend Sub-Agent:

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor trend install


Step 2: Turn On File Integrity Monitoring in "Auto-Apply" Mode (This automatically applies FIM rules identified by Recommendation Scans. You must run a Recommendation Scan to identify the FIM rules that will be auto-applied.)

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor fim on auto-apply-recommendations=on


Step 3: Turn On Intrusion Prevention Service in "Auto-Apply" Mode (This automatically applies IPS rules identified by Recommendation Scans. You must run a Recommendation Scan to identify the IPS rules that will be auto-applied.)

Option 1: Detect Mode 

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor ips detect auto-apply-recommendations=on

Option 2: Prevent Mode

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor ips prevent auto-apply-recommendations=on


Step 4: Install Malware Protection (Anti-Virus)

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor av on


Step 5: Install Vulnerability Scanning*

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor vuln install

*Vulnerability Scaning is a standalone service not included in the Trend Subagent


Step 6: Install Logging*

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor logging install

*Logging is a standalone service not included in the Trend Subagent


Step 7: Run a Recommendation Scan (This runs the initial Recommendation Scan to apply the baseline rules for FIM and IPS. Recommendations cannot be applied unless FIM and IPS are turned on and running in auto-apply mode.)

Code Block
themeMidnight
/opt/armor/armor trend recommendation-scan


Step 8: Turn On Ongoing Recommendation Scans (This automatically runs Recommendation Scans every 7 days. All FIM and IPS rule changes are automatically applied if you followed Steps 2 and 3.)

Code Block

Troubleshooting

The Armor Agent uses the BiosUUID to identify the hardware that the agent is running on. This number is tied to your motherboard (in the case of a physical computer) but is also present in a Virtual Machine.

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"

Code Block
themeMidnight
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:

Code Block
themeMidnight
sudo dmidecode |grep UUID

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

Code Block
themeMidnight
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.
